Cult Horror Collection



After viewing all nine movies on this set, it was definitely a great purchase. Yes, there were some down moments, but in the end, there were more winners than losers. The best films on the the Cult Horror Collection are:


Deep Red
Don't Look in the Basement
Horror Rises From the Tomb
Kill Baby Kill
Pieces
Silent Night, Bloody Night

Silent NIght, Bloody Night (1974)




At last, I finished the Cult Horror Collection by watching the last installment, Silent Night, Bloody Night from 1974.


Plot / Folks trying to sell an isolated New England mansion, with a dark history, are being stalked and killed by an escaped maniac. However, who is this deranged murderer and why do the local townspeople act so strange?


This may be one of the most underrated films in the genre. Yes, it is far from perfect. The cinematography is below average to say the least, the narrated portions were not needed, some of it is a bit slow and the plot was not developed to its fullest potential. However, the atmosphere is awesome, the odd plot is very deep and complex, the flashback sequences are wonderful and the character development is something that many films of the age lacked. In all, a very unnerving flick that definitely helped shape a genre and a joy to watch.
