Joseph Losey doesn't normally make trendy, lighthearted genre films, and in this SuperSpy epic we find out why -- an impressive production and great music don't compensate for a lack of pace and dynamism, not to mention a narrow sense of humor. Yet it's a lounge classic, and a perverse favorite of spy movie fans. Modesty Blaise Blu-ray Kl Studio Classics 1966 / Color / 1:66 widescreen / 119 min. / Street Date August 23, 2016 / available through Kino Lorber / 29.95 Starring Monica Vitti, Terence Stamp, Dirk Bogarde, Harry Andrews, Michael Craig, Clive Revill, Alexander Knox, Rossella Falk, Scilla Gabel, Tina Marquand Cinematography Jack Hildyard Production Designer Richard MacDonald, Jack Shampan Film Editor Reginald Beck Original Music John Dankworth Written by Evan Jones from a novel by Peter O'Donnell and a comic strip by Jim Holdaway Produced by Joseph Janni Directed by Joseph Losey

Here at Sound on Sight we have some of the biggest horror fans you can find. We are continually showcasing the best of genre cinema, so we’ve decided to put our horror knowledge and passion to the test in a horror watching contest. Each week in October, Ricky D, James Merolla and Justine Smith will post a list of the horror films they have watched. By the end of the month, the person who has seen the most films wins. Prize Tbd.

Thirst (1979)

Note: This is the second article in this series of posts. Click here to see the first entry.
Every year I spend the majority of the month of October watching as many horror movies as I possibly can. So I decided to take it upon myself to list off the greatest horror movies ever made. I felt the need to break up the list into several categories. You see, usually when people ask me for recommendations of what horror films they should see, they still have some idea of what sub genre they are interested in watching. So as appose to having one big jumbled list, I’ve broken it down to help with those looking for recommendations in a specific area. Please Note: by the end of the month, the last entry in this series will include a list of what I think are without a doubt, the 31 greatest horror movies ever made.

It’s the start of another week, so you know what that means – more DVD and Blu-ray releases!. So here’s the rundown of what’s available to buy from today, August 15th 2011.
Picks Of The Week
Source Code (DVD/Blu-ray)
Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) awakens on a speeding commuter train with no idea how he got there. Seeking refuge in the bathroom, he’s shocked to see another man’s reflection in the mirror. Suddenly a massive explosion rips through the train. Almost instantly, Colter is transported to a high-tech isolation unit where he discovers he is on a high-priority mission to identify a bomber who destroyed a train just hours earlier and who plans to kill thousands more with a much larger explosion in the heart of Chicago. A top-secret program, named ‘source code’, allows Colter to exist briefly as another man in the parallel reality of the doomed commuter train.

Tremors? Nightbreed? Sundown: The Vampire in Retreat? 976-evil? Are all on the list this year. And though there were not huge horror wins in sound editing through screenplays, the Technical Awards never cease to bring out the horror veterans. Notably Tim Drnec who contributed to such VHS classics as Alien Seed, Destroyer, and Prison won for his work on “Spydercam 3D volumetric suspended cable camera technologies.” An award also shared with Ben Britten Smith and Matt Davis who both also worked on Constantine.
But among all the winners, the Academy also honored some great loses in 2010. And though they mentioned some of our heroes, Dennis Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2), Kevin McCarthy (Invasion of the Body Snatchers) and Dino de Laurentiis (King Kong), they did not mention Zelda Rubinstein or Corey Haim. But we will in this last section and the others lost to us last year.
So farewell fight fans and remember,...

Various sites (including Fangoria) are reporting that French horror filmmaker Jean Rollin has passed away at the age of 72. Rollin was the writer/director of over 50 erotic/horror films including titles like Two Orphan Vampires, Living Dead Girl, Fascination, Grapes of Death, Lips of Blood and The Nude Vampire. More below, including a collection of trailers. Unfortunately for Rollin, his work was never really elevated beyond the world of euro-sleaze which was the predominant style of horror entertainment being imported from overseas at the time. Movies that gratuitously displayed images of nudity, sex and violence meant to titillate, disturb and sell... nothing else. Rollin's work however is worth so much...

Okay, the titles Caged Virgins, The Nude Vampire, Two Orphan Vampires, and The Grapes Of Death might not be familiar to the casual movie fan, but followers of 70′s Eurosleaze are certainly familiar with the works of French horror director Jean Rollin who passed away yesterday at age 72. Many of Rollin’s films are available of the Redemption DVD label and without Rollin’s unique output, the history of the erotic vampire film would have huge gaps. Somewhere right now there’s a naked lesbian vampire weeping.

Fangoria has learned of the passing of beloved French erotic-horror filmmaker Jean Rollin. The director died last night, after a long illness. He was 72.Fans of European genre films, especially those coming out of the free-thinking 1970s, are no doubt aware of the work of Rollin.a talented, gentle poet of sensual horror, a man who made personal, lush...
