A young coed (Nan Barlow) uses her winter vacation to research a paper on witchcraft in New England. Her professor recommends that she spend her time in a small village called Whitewood. He originally cam from that village so he also recommends she stay at the "Raven's Inn," run by a Mrs. Newlis. She gets to the village and notices some weird happenings, but things begin to happen in earnest when she finds herself "marked" for sacrifice by the undead coven of witches. It seems that the innkeeper is actually the undead spirit of Elizabeth Selwyn, and the "guests" at the inn are the other witches who have come to celebrate the sacrifice on Candalmas Eve. As one of them said when Nan walked away, "HE will be PLEASED."

HOROR KLASICI 60-IH

Post by Michel » 19 Mar 2014, 19:51

The City of the Dead (1960) - film iz Amicus produkcije. Film koji je bio inspiriran sa Bavinim klasikom Black Sunday, a ima i dosta sličnosti sa Psihom što se tiče glumice i njezinog puta. Najveći horor glumac (uz naravno, Pricea) Christopher Lee u ulozi profesora Driscolla koji obožava povijest vještica i sotonizma, a s time se film bavi. Mali gradić/selo gdje dosta ljudi koji čine jednu sektu trebaju žrtvovati mladu djevojku dva dana za redom da bi dobili vječan život, u što oni vjeruju. Ali prvo moraju namamiti naše junake na to mjesto što naravno uspjevaju. Film ima sjajnu atmosferu, toliko magle dugo nisam vidio :D iako nije u rangu Devils Rides Outa koji mi je najbolji film iz Hammer produkcije, ovo je dobar film. Šteta što nema toliko puno Leea. Mislim, dobro je on rasporđen po filmu, ali je glavni fokus na naše junake koji su totalno bezlični. Film ću pamtiti po atmosferi i vrhnuskih zadnjih 10 minuta.
