I'm a huge fan of movies, but horror movies are my all-time favorites. I don't care for those half-baked remakes or gore-fest flicks that try to pass themselves off as horror. For my money nothing beats a good old-fashioned scary movie; and nobody made them better than Amicus.
Amicus Productions was a British film production company during the '60s and '70s, often mistaken for rival Hammer Film Productions, that dominated countless drive-ins and movie theaters with their unique brand of science fiction, thrillers, and horror films. You'll scream with delight as you relive Amicus's heyday with a trio of fright-filled flicks that are featured on the Amicus Collection on DVD!
This 3-disc set includes:
Asylum (1972) Rated PG - 1h 28minWhen Dr. Martin (Robert Powell) arrives at the Dunsmoor Asylum for the incurably insane, he expects to be interviewed by asylum director Dr. Starr. Instead he is met by Dr. Rutherford (Patrick Magee), who explains that Dr. Starr had suffered a mental breakdown and now is one of the patients. Can Martin deduce which one is really Dr. Starr or will he die trying?
And Now the Screaming Starts (1973) Rated R - 1h 31minIn 1795 England, blissful newlyweds Catherine (Stephanie Beacham) and Charles Fengriffen (Ian Ogilvy) move into his ancestral family mansion.
