ON DVD & BLU-RAY
The Old Dark House (1932) Blu Ray & DVD (Eureka!)
Once considered a lost film, this overlooked entry in the filmographies of James Whale and Boris Karloff is an exquisitely atmospheric and playful mix of horror, black comedy and melodrama.
Suddenly, Last Summer (1959) Blu Ray (Indicator)
Joseph L. Mankiewicz's controversial adaptation of Tennessee Williams' play of homosexuality and lobotomies heavily emphasises words to paint pictures, yet still manages to be impressively cinematic.
Flowers in the Attic (1987) starring Louise Fletcher Blu Ray (Arrow)
Jeffrey Bloom's toned-down adaptation of V.C. Andrews' popular novel about incest and child abuse manages some gothic atmosphere but suffers from poor dialogue and implausibilities.
The Vikings (1958) Blu Ray (Eureka!) starring Kirk Douglas
An old-fashioned but highly enjoyable Norseman epic directed by Richard Fleischer, also starring Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh.

Bunny Lake is Missing (1965) Blu Ray & DVD (Powerhouse/Indicator)
Delirious and perverse "missing child" thriller from director Otto Preminger is a bona fide cult classic.
