Posted on 15. Oct, 2007 by Kyle Chappell in Movie Reviews
Intro:
I bought a DVD box set called “10-Classic Horror Movies” from Costco the other day. Looking on the discs and online I find out the set is called “Frightfest, Nightmares in a box”. 5 Discs… 10 movies… 12.5 Hours…. I’m going to watch them all and review them here! So check back as I watch!
Plot:
A young coed (Nan Barlow) uses her winter vacation to research a paper on witchcraft in New England. Her professor recommends that she spend her time in a small village called Whitewood. He originally cam from that village so he also recommends she stay at the “Raven’s Inn,” run by a Mrs. Newlis. She gets to the village and notices some weird happenings, but things begin to happen in earnest when she finds herself “marked” for sacrifice by the undead coven of witches. It seems that the innkeeper is actually the undead spirit of Elizabeth Selwyn, and the “guests” at the inn are the other witches who have come to celebrate the sacrifice on Candalmas Eve. As one of them said when Nan (Venetia Stevenson) walked away, “HE will be PLEASED.”

Review:
I was really surprised, but I actually really enjoyed this movie. Its really easy to forget its from 1960 and in black and white. The acting is pretty good, and there are a lot of interesting dialog transfers which make you think and try and guess what will happen. This is the first movie I’ve seen with a young Christopher Lee, who I’ve mainly only seen in Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings. All in all it was a really entertaining movie, and something I would watch again.. but I might way until next Halloween..
7/10
