4.0 out of 5 starsa fine remastering job.
By Michael Dobey on 5 July 2012
Format: Blu-ray
This is a low budget flick from the early sixties. I love these movies, nonfans might rate them a two or one star. But I say that cheapee horror has it's own rating system that doesn't crossover to a list and other movies. This is probably a three star on that low budget rating system of mine. It's a movie of it's time and the effects were fine for the period. The movie is what it is, a ultra quickie from roger corman and it's fun enough. But the remastering is excellent. THose who complain about a soft image don't see that most of these older movies never had much clarity and this even has lots of stock footage in it. But unlike many a movies which look shredded on blu ray. "little big man" , 'the horse soldiers" and 'rio lobo' , or 'kellys heroes' which has dust and dirt on it. The went frame by frame here and cleaned this movie up, It's been in such a bad state for so many yeats that I could barely watch it. NOw it's in great shape! This needs to be done with all trashed up movies on blu ray. ANd even later movies than this are on blu and look like crap with lines in them. "Time bandits' is one of those. The picture is not so soft nor so crisp because it never was that crisp to begin with. This is from the original master and it's as good as it was back when it first came out.
Of course you get the great Boris Karloff in this one and I would watch anything he was in including 'targets'. I love the guy. Jack nicolson is in here too and he's always good too imo. So hd cinema really did a good clean up. Now if only someone would clean up lots of other movies. Heck even the 70's and nieties has some bad prints on dvd and blu. 'dead alive' and many others. on dvd it's even worse. So for those of us who know this movie and blu rays this is a fine blu ray. Just don't expect a newer type of clarity. This never had that. This is awesome.

3.0 out of 5 starsDon't speak of the dead anymore. You're with me now.
By Spike Owen TOP 500 REVIEWER on 29 April 2013
Format: DVD
In what amounts to a film made to kill time and use up the remaining days on Boris Karloff's contract, The Terror, crafted by Roger Corman and perhaps four other directors, is hardly good but still not as bad as it arguably should be? Plot simply follows a French soldier, Andre (Jack Nicholson), in 1806 who gets detached from his regiment and meets a mysterious young woman named Helene (Sandra Knight). Trying to unravel the mystery that surrounds her, Andre is led to the castle of Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe (Karloff), from where it becomes apparent that Helene could be Ilsa, the Baron's wife who died twenty years earlier!

In typically Corman style the film has decent atmosphere and the recycled sets from concurrent productions (The Haunted Palace/The Raven) form a good Gothic backdrop. With a number of hands involved in directing and the slim time frame for the production, the plotting is understandably skew-whiff, with some scenes actually serving no purpose, while dialogue is stilted and the delivery of such is sometimes laughable (Nicholson looks like he is reading from auto-cue at times). Yet it's pretty harmless as entertainment, if a touch boring, but Karloff is good value and the theme of past deeds haunting the present gives the film a doom laden edge. 5/10

1.0 out of 5 starsThe Terrible Terror
By R. E. Noller on 31 Dec. 2010
Format: DVD
I got about ten minutes into the film and abanboned it because the picture was practically unwatchable. I don't know if the film itself is any good or indeed if a different release of it exists in better quality. Shame, as I'm quite a fan of Karloff.

3.0 out of 5 starsAtmospheric but non-sensical
By Autonome on 9 Jan. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I won't add to the accumulation of complaints about the quality (or lack thereof) of the DVD: wretched colors, non-existent contrasts, awful soundtrack. However, the whole thing remains watchable and therefore my rating is purely artistic and based on the perceived quality of the movie. At the end of the shooting of "The Raven", there was some time and a little bit of money left so Corman kept Karloff and Nicholson, recycled sets and costumes, and produced this "Terror" in several days.
To be fair, considering the means and the budget available for this production, the results are amazing. Corman switched from "very little money in my budget" to "no money whatsoever". Despite the limitations, the film is quite atmospheric and there is some gothic poetry around it, helped by the casting of the always suave Boris Karloff and the stunningly beautiful Sandra Knight. Jack Nicholson goes through the motions (but his dialogue is totally inept) and if you watch the credits carefully you will notice a young Francis Coppola as Associate Producer.
Despite the "atmosphere" though, the plot is a complete non-sense and, very quickly (i.e, from the moment Nicholson enters Karloff's castle), absolutely nothing comprehensible happens.
The plot becomes contrived and, by the end, you're not too sure as to who is who and is doing what. You're not too sure if Jack Nicholson is staying or is leaving and actually you start wondering why you started watching in the first place.
However, for many movie students, "The Terror" has to rank as one of the most spectacular examples as to how someone can make a movie with absolutely no resource whatsoever. Respect, but this does not make "The Terror" a good movie...just watchable, and certainly not at the level of the Poe cycle that Roger Corman was filming at the same time.

This movie is one of my favourite movies of the sixties, if I have one moan about this transfer to blu-ray it has to be that the colour is a little too garish for my taste. Read more
