Product Description

Product Description

A young wench flees across a dark forest for her very life as her murderous assailant gives chase. But she falls, is raped and then left for dead. With her last dying breath utters the name of her killer...Sir Richard Fordyke. A few days later Sir Richard Fordyke returns to the vast Fordyke Estate with his lovely bride and second wife, Elizabeth. But talk around the village is of the ghost of Sir Richard s first wife, who appears on the lawn and accuses Sir Richard of her murder. When another young girl is brutally murdered in the stables, the villagers swear that they have seen Sir Richard riding through the village at night pursued by the ghostly figure of his first wife. Convinced that the murders are the work of Sir Richard and that madness runs in his family, the villagers decide to descend upon Fordyke Hall and discover the secret of The Black Torment... This newly restored Blu-ray comes with a host of specially made extras including the conception and making of The Black Torment, plus interviews with the cast and crew.

4.0 out of 5 starsGothic Horror almost at it's Best
By A. W. Wilson TOP 500 REVIEWER on 29 Oct. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I must confess to being pleasantly surprised by this "Best of British" release from Odeon. Of course it's not really in the category of "Best of..", but it is a pretty good Gothic Mystery, with good mood settings and fine acting, and direction. I wondered at one point if Hammer "expert" Jimmy Sangster might have had a hand in the script! The plot keeps you guessing (up to a point), and it's all done in 83 minutes. No boring bits here. As for the Print quality...I can't quite go along with one review or comments, but almost. Most of the film has bright colours, but night scenes suffer a bit, and there are some blemishes. But this did not spoil my enjoyment, tho I can see how it might for others. I recomend this to collectors of Gothic Horror/Hammer type films, and fans of Ann Lynn (yep, I'm one). Now that brings me on to what is becoming a far too regular grumble about Odeon's DVD Covers. According to Odeon the stars of this film are Heather Sears, Peter Arne, Raymond Huntley and Patrick Troughton in that order, front and back covers. The FILM titles read Heather Sears, John Turner, Ann Lynn in that order. Nowhere on the cover do Turner and Lynn get a mention, and Lynn isn't in the enclosed notes (tho Troughton is). I'm sorry I feel the need to bang on about this, but who designs/writes these covers? However, don't, for heaven's sake let this point put you off getting a worthwhile addition to your horror library.

5.0 out of 5 starsHere it is on DVD at long last!!
By FAMOUS NAME VINE VOICE on 24 Nov. 2007
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
'The Black Torment' is one of Britain's greatest gothic movies from the 1960s - a lavish production in glorious colour. Starring Heather Sears and Ann Lynn in a plot with a twist. How can one forget the haunting 'shriek' of 'murderer...murderer' as Sir Richard Fordyke is pursued in the dead of night on horseback by his dead wife!! See Ann Lynn at her very best, as her stealthy performance reaches its dramatic climax!

This has been years coming out on DVD, and although one reviewer has suggested that this is the terrible quality of the Stablecane video release, though the film has not been re-mastered, the quality far surpasses that of the video, and so do not be put off by this.

Long overdue!

N. B. A couple of 'blunders' in this; the first one: the window where the Lady Anne committed suicide is seen being barred from the outside. Later in the film, we see that it has been barred from the inside!
Second: at the very end of the picture, and after the house is smashed up and there have been no less than three fatalities, the couple decide to simply 'turn in' for the night!?

2.0 out of 5 starsWeak transfer of mediocre film
By Zuran VINE VOICE on 1 Aug. 2007
Format: DVD
The Black Troment is a British attempt at a gothic melodrama in the style of films then being made in Italy by the likes of Riccardo Freda and Mario Bava. The Horrible Dr Hichcock (aka Terror of Dr Hichcock) is a noticable influence on the style of this film (these films in turn owed much to Rebecca and also parts of Jane Eyre). It was the first venture into gothic horror from Tigon films and sexploitation producer Tony Tenser and there is a legendary story told in the book Beasts in the Cellar of how Tenser simply ripped ten pages out of the script when director Robert Hartford-Davies fell behind schedule. Hartford-Davies' experiences with Tenser caused him to form his own production company - Titan films - which went on to make Corruption and Incense for the Damned.

This film, in which new bride Heather Sears is menaced by the strange behaviour from her husband John Turner, whilst local villagers get murdered and/or utter veiled warnings about something or other, suffers from poor pacing and a lack of much suspense.

The DVD itself is a disappointment with a washed-out faded picture quality not that much better from the old Stablecane VHS release. This is a film in which colour is important but because of the quality of the print we get to see very little colour at all. It's also the cut theatrical version that was previously released by Stablecane and on R1 DVD by Image.
