A young girl is discovered at the scene of a grisly murder
and taken in by a kindly Freudian psychiatrist. As he uncovers
her past, he learns that she is the child of the infamous
Jack the Ripper and her murderous urges are triggered by memories
of her evil father...
Hands
of the Ripper puts an interesting slant on the Jack the
Ripper story. It stars Angharad Rees (Under Milk Wood)
as the daughter of Jack the Ripper and Eric Porter (The
Forsyte Saga) as Dr. Pritchard. This is a great deal of
tension and suspense and all in all this movie has aged extremely
well.
A
couple's new born baby boy seems to have an inbuilt hatred
of people, especially his parents. He also possesses superhuman
strength which he uses to murder those who get too close...
The
Monster
stars Joan Collins and Ralph Bates as the parents of a little
monster. In a previous life Joan Collins' character was a
stripper, working with a midget and it is this little man
who has cursed Collins' baby.
There
are plenty of jumpy scenes (where the baby suddenly changes
for a second into the midget in a baby grow - very Don't
Look Now.) There
is also a very brief appearance by Floella Benjamin (who 30-somethings
will remember for her later work on Playschool).
A
strong cast and gripping plot keep you on the edge of your
seat.
Wilbur
Gray is eccentric author who pleads with his publisher to
print his book which tell of three unbelievable horror stories
where cats have attacked humans who have wronged them...
The
Uncanny is
really three mini-stories tied together by Peter Cushing as
the tortured author. All three are fairly run of the mill,
with the final segment probably being the strongest.
There
is a great quote where one of the actresses is in bed with
Donald Pleasence and says: "Oh, VD, I love you!
This
boxset represents outstanding value for money. While there
are no extras each film has an above average print quality
and any fan of the horror genre would be crazy to let this
boxset pass them by.
