Greetings! Savant's new reviews today are
Savant has to apologize for hia delay in the review for The Tyrone Power Box Set, but the screeners arrived after street date and both a contractual obligation and an editing job slowed me up. I haven't got a dog so I can't claim he ate the review, either.
The big shock of the week was watching Anchor Bay's new DVD of the Masters of Horror episode of The Screwfly Solution, which those of you with Showtime Cable may have seen last December. We're in a major trend of miserable torture-based theatrical horror films right now, and it's refreshing to find a horror outing with something behind its scares besides vicarious sadism. In this case, the 'something' is a potent concept that may make the show an instant classic. Packed with dangerous & edgy ideas and highly recommended. Thanks for reading, Glenn Erickson.
