Editorial Review:

Product Description:
The most celebrated star in the history of screen horror headlines these two atmospheric works filled with producer Val Lewton's trademark mix of mood madness and premeditated dread. Boris Karloff shares a quarantined house with other strangers on a plague-infested perhaps spirit-haunted Isle of the Dead. St. Mary's of Bethlehem Asylum in 1761 London is the setting for Bedlam. Karloff gives an uncanny performance as the doomed overseer who fawns on high-society benefactors while ruling the mentally disturbed inmates with an iron fist. Mark Robson who edited three films for Lewton and directed five guides both films.Running Time: 151 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA UPC: 053939724226

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Boris Perfection
I was thrilled at how quickly the movie "Bedlam" arrived at my home and it was in perfect condition. Boris Karloff never looked so frightening in his understated way. The film helped me understand the way mentally ill people were treated in the past as I was taking a psychology class.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very old (classic) movie in DVD format...
Exceeded my expectations....cheaper than had I purchased on eBay! I am delighted as I had been looking for this item for quite a long time!

[This review is part of my 31 Days of Halloween series]

In the painting there are two figures in a small boat just off shore from a rather dank & weedy looking island. One figure is standing, obscured head to foot by a shroud like cloak. The other figure is seated, ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Bedlam is great.
BEDLAM: This is an excellent psychological thriller with good performances by Boris Karloff and Anna Lee. Unlike a dozen of today's horror movies (I mean, with a lot of carnage and blood), the real climax of this movie is presented to us on the dialogues and acting itself. I think, that's why some people -- especially, the youngers -- might not enjoy this production. But for Cinema lovers, it is a worth watching movie.

ISLE OF THE DEAD: It is not as good as "Bedlam". Despite some good scenes, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Boris Karloff excels
Isle of the Dead

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE / Hamlet Act 1. Scene V abt. 1601

`Under conquest and oppression the people of Greece allowed their legends to degenerate into superstition; the Goddess Aphrodite giving way to the `Vorvolaka.' This nightmare figure was very much alive in the mines of the peasants when Greece fought the victorious war of 1912."

Gen. Nikolas Pherides ... Read More
