DOMINIQUE IS DEAD-MPAA Rate (PG)The wife of a greedy man comes back to haunt him after he drives her to hang herself. But is she really a ghost or is she now playing mind games similar to those he played on her? Cliff Robertson Jean Simmons Simon Ward and Jenny Agutter star in this haunting tale that spins you into a web of intrigue. Runtime 100 min.DEATH AT LOVE HOUSE- Not Rated (Mild Violence)Joel (Robert Wagner) and Donna Gregory (Kate Jackson) are staying at the estate of Lorna Love while researching a book about this long dead Hollywood goddess. Joel whose father had a passionate affair with Lorna becomes obsessed with her. His wife attempts to break the spell which threatens their marriage and their very lives. Death At Love House also features veteran horror film star John Carradine. Runtime 74 min.THE INVISIBLE GHOST-Not Rated (Mild Violence)Lugosi is cast as Kessler an otherwise normal gentleman who goes insane whenever he thinks about his late wife. It gets worse when Kessler is transformed via hypnosis into an unwitting murderer apparently at the behest of his wife's ghost. An innocent man is executed for Kessler's first murder but the victim's twin brother teams with Kessler's daughter to determine the identity of the true killer. The Invisible Ghost presents a dark moody atmosphere throughout with Lugosi delivering a full-blooded performance as a decent man controlled by powerful homicidal impulses beyond his control (Black & White) Runtime: 61 min.CARNIVAL OF SOULS Not Rated (Mild Violence)Actress Candace Hilgoss has earned cult status solely on the basis of this one-of-a kind true cult classic. A car plunges off a bridge and a young woman emerges apparently unscathed. Wandering off her odyssey takes her to a strange small town and a carnival pavilion whose patrons walk the line between the living and the dead! (Black and White)Runtime: 84 min.System Requirements:Starring: Kate Jackson Robert Wagner John Carradine Cliff Robe
The premise of CARNIVAL OF SOULS has been a standard literary device since Bierce's "Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" and even before. Anticipation of this story's denouement doesn't detract from the viewer's enjoyment of what is a minor classic of low budget cinema. Here, a car with four passengers plunges off a bridge and into a river. Hours later, a lone survivor emerges from the water in shock but physically unharmed. The experience leaves her alienated and introverted. She decides to take a church organist's job in another state. Nearby this new town is an ominous abandoned lakeside amusement park that the woman feels drawn to. In an unforgettably surrealistic scene at this remote location, she finally comes to understand her fate.
DEATH AT LOVE HOUSE-- A writer becomes obssessed with the long-dead actress he's doing book research on. Cast of this made-for-TVer includes several big names out of Hollywood's past.
DOMINIQUE IS DEAD-- A man scares his wife to death, but her spirit returns to exact revenge. Strong cast, weak script.
INVISIBLE GHOST is one of many undistinguished Lugosi 'B' flicks. Confusing storyline, cops without a clue to a series of murders, homicidal hypnotism and Lugosi as the supposed somnambulistic killer all play a part in this dull little film.
BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded.
KINGS OF CLASSIC HORROR is a similar BRENTWOOD fright film 4 movie pack.
