 Cuts that spoil the rhythm and emotional flow November 26, 2007
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
In addition to the cut mentioned in the review below, there are others in Vault of Horror - the comic/grotesque moment of the "Bits and pieces" in the preserving jar at the end of the sequence with Terry-Thomas and Glynis Johns. The cut is not even professionally done: the camera lingers on the shelf above, then starts to move to the shelf and jar in question, and there the cut takes place, while the camera is moving. Had the cut taken place a second or so earlier, we might not even be aware of the loss. At other times, the prudish editors have replaced climactic, cathartic moments with a freeze-frame, spoiling the rhythm of the film and making a nonsense of the emotional flow. I have only previously witnessed such unprofessional and unsubtle editing in feature films playing on TV in the Middle East. I wish I had not bought this set, but paid more for the individually packaged versions which I understand are not cut.
 Beware Vault Of Horror is cut but Tales From The Crypt is intact September 17, 2007
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
When I heard that two of my faverite Amicus anthology films were being released on dvd I was overjoyed. However I was very dissapointed that the print of the Vault Of Horror is cut. The first segment called Midnight Mess is cut. The scene in question is where Danial Massey has his neck drained like a beer kegg. The scene is intact in the Vipco dvd release. The print however, is excellent and in widescreen.
On a more positive note Tales From The Crypt is totally uncut and once again is in widescreen.
It's nice that Midnight Movies are now releasing their dvds a 2 disk sets rather than the awful double sided dvd they used to release. So all in all I would say that this release is worth buying dispite one film being cut.
