Burke and Hare – DVD Review

The Resident – Blu-ray Review
The name Hammer used to mean something to horror hounds. In their heyday, they revived many a movie monster with a bloody, Technicolor twist. They also made some psychological thrillers - which were much less remembered than their monsters. Such is the case with the Resident, even with the legendary Christopher Lee in the cast.
