DVD Savant: Bela Lugosi, Hammer Horror and Harakiri
This week the DVD Savant has a number of new reviews including: The Bela Lugosi Collection - the 1930s strike back with a five-title set of Bela Lugosi Universal classics; Gates of Heaven - Errol Morris' breakthrough docu-essay is supposedly about pet cemeteries, but its scope seems to widen to take in a contemporary portrait of America as a land of loneliness and despair; Red Garters - this cockeyed musical western spoof uses stylized settings painted in bright colors; The Hammer Horror Series - Eight -- Count 'em, 8 -- hot Hammer titles in one incredibly affordable package; Whirlpool - Otto Preminger supposedly laid an egg with this overheated psychological melodrama about a megalomaniac quack, a vulnerable kleptomaniac and her proud-but-thoughtful psychiatrist husband; Harakiri - a superb Samurai classic makes us think we're watching the same-old slasher thrills, until a riveting story kicks in to put us at the edge of our seats; Devil in the Flesh - NoShame DVD finally lives up to its name with this red-hot sex film with a shaky political core. Read all this and more in this week's DVD Savant.
