The Undead — CineSavant Revival House Review 02/01/25
Not on authorized Blu-ray
n/a
Charlie Largent comes up with an exotic winner from 1957, a Roger Corman horror gem we haven’t reviewed because decent restored discs are unavailable. Charles B. Griffith concocted a macabre twist on the Bridey Murphy craze, that ‘regresses’ Pamela Duncan to the middle ages — where she finds herself condemned as a witch. Corman’s first supernatural horror item is a beatnik precursor of his later Poe pictures, minus Vincent Price but plus Allison Hayes, Bruno Ve Sota, Mel Welles and Billy Barty. All the speeches are weirdly stylized, and our host is Satan himself. C’mon, folks, free the American-International features being held hostage by rights holders! Not on authorized Blu-ray.
