The City Of The Dead DVD Review
08:30:00
Good Morning Lovelies,
Horror films are strangely a favourite of mine. I love the
way in which they can make your body feel like it is having a weird experience,
so I decided to dive into the classic horror genre this weekend to see where
this feeling all began.
Starring Christopher Lee, The City Of The Dead, is a film privileged
to have the father of the horror film genre in it. His work and detail to
character make this film come to life (sorry for the pun), which is something
that this film isn’t working on actually showing the audience.
Following a professor, the film shows him persuading one of
his students to looking into his hometown Whitewood, which use to be the place
for witch burnings in the 17th century. Not knowing what is about to
happen, the student finds herself mingling with the devil, as she finds that
the past is still very much present.
The film has a great script and really brings a new meaning
to the horror genre. Lee is as always menacing as the evil figure, but the real
villain in the film is worse. There must have been a large number of meetings
surrounding the way it was going to be shown on screen and they did it so well.
In fact, it is easy to see that the film has been the
starting base for other directors looking to bring a horror character and
villain to life. This is due to the subtle details that are still being used in
cinematic features today.
This is why I am giving the film...
