This House Feeds On Your Fear; You Won't Get Out Alive
Reviewed in the United States on June 19, 2009
On the outside, Yew Tree House seems like a peaceful, country villa - the perfect place for escaping your worries. Unfortunately, it is possessed by evil. Books on witchcraft line the shelves in the study. Yew trees used to make magic potions provide shade. This house destroys the lives of everyone who lives there as evidenced by the quartet of tales in one of Amicus Production's greatest horror anthologies: "The House That Dripped Blood.""Method for Murder" - An overworked horror writer, Charles Hillyer, is obsessed by his latest novel. He begins to imagine seeing its villain, Dominick the strangler. Then people around him begin to die. The creepiest tale in the anthology, it has a great twist ending."Waxworks" - Horror legend Peter Cushing is retired stockbroker Phillip Grayson. Wandering into town, he visits a wax museum of murderers. One of the, Salome, resembles his dead lover; she is holding the head of John the Baptist on a platter. Because the wax figure is so beautiful and mesmerizing, men begin literally losing their heads. This one is the goriest tale."Sweets to the Sweet" - Another horror legend, this time Christopher Lee, stars in this tale; he is businessman John Reid who is terrified of his adorable, pixie-faced daughter, and for good reason. She is the spawn of a witch. Voodoo and black magic run rampant in this tale."The Cloak" - Famous horror actor Paul Henderson buys a cloak for a role in a vampire film; he is unaware that it belonged to a genuine vampire. The cloak causes him to put the bite on luscious Ingrid Pitt ("The Vampire Lovers" and "Countess Dracula"). Lions Gate has presented a superb DVD package. "The House That Dripped Blood" is presented in a pristine widescreen aspect ratio of 1.85:1. Audio and video are wonderful. An interview with the witty co-producer Max J. Rosenberg has been provided. Max explained that him and his co-producer Milton Subotsky called their production company Amicus which means "friends." "What were we suppose to call it?" he asked, "enemies?" All of the tales are based on short stores written by "Psycho" author Robert Bloch. Max explains that he went through literally hundreds of them before he found ones suitable for the anthology. "The House of Blood" is highly recommended for Amicus fans. Other Amicus anthologies that are highly recommended are "Asylum," "Torture Garden," "Tales from the Crypt," "Vault of Horror," "From Beyond the Grave," "Tales that Witness Madness" and "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors." In the United States, the last two have not been given a DVD release.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 28, 2021
This is a review for the Limited Edition, 1 disc, Region B blu ray release from Second Sight Films, running time 102 minutes.Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 28, 2021
As this limited Edition is OOP (out of print) it is currently priced between £50.00 and £100.00.
LIMITED EDITION CONTENTS:
Rigid Slipcase Featuring New Artwork by Graham Humphreys.
40 page booklet with new essays by Allan Bryce, Jon Towlson and Kat Ellinger.
Reversible poster featuring new and original artwork.
Reversible Sleeve containing new and original artwork.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Audio Commentary with Director Peter Duffell and Author Jonathan Rigby.
Audio Commentary with Film Historian and Author Troy Howarth.
Interview with Second Assistant Director Mike Higgins.
"A Rated Horror Film" - Vintage featurette featuring interviews with Director Peter Duffell and Actors Geoffrey Bayldon, IngridPitt and Chloe Franks.
Theatrical Trailers.
Amicus Radio Spots.
Stills Gallery.
Optional English subtitles for the hard of hearing.
The first thing you notice is how solid the thick hard box is, and the stunning new artwork.
The box contains one single blu ray case, a double sided poster and a 40 page collectors booklet.
This is another smart looking release from Second Sight.
A great Edition to Amicus and Horror shelves.
That said if I were to be super critical my only gripe would be that the blu ray itself is the exact same disc and case that you can buy on its own for around £10.00. Same reversible sleeve, same special features and same cut of the film.
So you are in fact paying £40.00 + for a hard box, poster and booklet.
Lovely as they are that's a lot of cash. Meaning this one fits squarely in the "for collectors" bracket.
Being OOP will always drive the price up, so worth considering if it's worth it to you.
