BACK FROM THE DEAD 1957 (KINO) BLU-RAY

I did a review for this obscure film a few years ago after watching it on YouTube.

Now it finally gets a 4K Blu-ray release. It has never been available in any format and is a very welcome addition to any horror collection.

This 20th Century Fox thriller stars gorgeous Peggy Castle as Mandy Anthony, a newly married woman. Her husband, Dick Anthony (Arthur Franz) is perplexed by her sometimes odd behavior.

One night Mandy passes out and when she comes to again she claims to be a woman named Felicia, who was Dick's first wife. It seems that Felicia was involved in the occult.

Felecia vowed to come back from the dead and now she has. Dick and Mandy's sister try and find a way to end this nightmare before Felicia takes over for good.

This macabre gem is sometimes a little slow, but it's no big deal. I like slow burning horror. The cast does a great job under the direction of Charles Marquis Warren.

The movie is presented in wonderful widescreen "Regalscope" with a crisp black and white image. I also have to admit that it's never a bad thing to see Peggy Castle in a black negligee, especially remastered.

A huge shout out to Kino for finally bringing this movie to Blu-ray and doing such a darn good job with it. The rest of the cast includes Marsha Hunt, Don Haggerty, James Bell, Marianne Stewart and Otto Reichow.
