5.0 out of 5 stars
one of the best home video magazines out there!,
By Cubist (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Video Watchdog (Magazine)
Video Watchdog have been around for years and continue to produce a top quality home video magazine. Editor Tim Lucas has assembled an impressive staff of writers that are very knowledgable and clearly do their home work. There are some amazing in-depth reviews and feature articles that focus primarily on the horror and fantasy genres.In addition, they also have a book review column that I've used numerous times to buy film books and a soundtrack column that covers obscure, hard-to-find albums as well as mainstream stuff -- very good! This is one of the few magazines I subscribe to and actually read cover-to-cover. High recommended!

Easily the best video magazine available for the genre fanatic,

This review is from: Video Watchdog (Magazine)
I've been buying "Video Watchdog" on and off for at least 15 years; in the past year I've finally succumbed to the lure of it completely and I'm glad I have. Every issue of this slick digest is a treasure-trove of serious, thoughtful (but never humorless or dry) reviewing, criticism and discussion about the wonderful worlds of science fiction, fantasy, and horror filmmaking as it appears on home video - first on VHS and laserdisc, then on DVD, now increasingly on Blu-ray. Editor and regular writer Tim Lucas has an obsessive, geeky level of detail at his command and expects the same out of others on his staff. Films are typically reviewed for both technical merits - both audio and video discussed in enough detail for most technophiles but simply enough for those of us with less interest in such things - and for their qualities as art, though in the case of very famous films like, say, 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY in its recent Blu-ray release the technical considerations usually are the bulk of the piece.The format typically offers "Dog Bytes" - short reviews of 200-500 words over a dozen pages or so at the beginning of the magazine and longer "DVDs" reviews ranging from about 700-2000 words near the end; Lucas also writes a 1-page editorial that often waxes philosophical or broadly political, there are book and CD (movie music usually) reviews, and in the last few years writer Ramsey Campbell has had a column that he usually devotes to something really, really obscure. Then there is the feature article, a lengthy review or interview, often in roundtable form; recent examples have been a long discussion of Dario Argento's MOTHER OF TEARS and an interview with Roger Corman about the Edgar Alan Poe adaptations he made in the 1960s. Lest you say "but I'm not much interested in those kinds of films", the Watchdog often covers film noir, spaghetti and other westerns, classic cartoons and anime, and works of various major directors who have at least a little connection to weirdness and fantasy. You might not ever find a John Ford cover feature, but Welles, Bergman, Fellini, Tarkovsky or Godard aren't out of the question. In short, my very favorite film magazine, and one of the few magazines I've ever read regularly cover-to-cover for years, and that has never diminished in quality.

The watchdog is on guard!,

This review is from: Video Watchdog (Magazine)
This is one of the top publications that covers films and books on the horror/sci-fi genre. It continues to sort out and dig up the new releases of vintage, classic genre films. There are great reviews and evaluations about the release - missing footage, tracks, etc., anything that could detract from the pleasure of viewing. The mag has an exceptional group of writers, reviewers, etal that keep the fan in mind. The issues remain great references and will remain in your collection for many years to come. If you haven't tried Watchdog do yourself a favor and pick up the next copy at your newstand/bookstore.
