The House that Dripped Blood was one of the most entertaining of the Amicus anthology horror film series.

In the director’s chair was Peter Duffell, whose first major film it was (he’d done one low-budget film a decade prior). They assembled a first-rate cast, including horror icons Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee, as well as Denholm Elliott, Joss Ackland, Jon Pertwee, and Ingrid Pitt. The film received some decent reviews: Kevin Thomas in the Los Angeles Times said, “Richly atmospheric settings, muted color photography, an outstanding cast and competent direction (by Peter Duffell) do justice to Bloch’s fine script, which deals with psychological terror rather than relying on ...

It is well known that in other times, some people, whose nature was imbued with the romantic ...

One of the usual ideas that are discussed when talking about “good cinema” is to say that is the one that makes us feel emotions as an audience. The one that makes us forget that what is captured on the big screen are images recorded by a camera. When the set of elements of a film merge into a whole, getting our feelings to move from the theatre seat to a place where action takes place. That “suspension of disbelief” that is so much talked about in the film books on the other side of the ...

Disques Cinémusique reissues digitally the 45 rpm EP of the soundtrack to the movie L’Attico (1963) aka The Penthouse, composed and conducted by Piero Piccioni. L’Attico is another of those minor Italian movies which are forgotten today but whose music is still very attractive for the admirers of maestro Piero Piccioni (1921-2004). All the tracks on the monophonic record are easy listening music which once again shows the composer’s mastery in jazz Italian style. In 2013, Beat released a CD of this soundtrack that offered nothing else than variations of the six themes featured on the EP in a stereo version.
