One of the boutique labels in the UK is about to release up-to-date scans and deluxe Blu-ray sets of I, Monster (Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing) and The Beast Must Die (Calvin Lockhart and Peter Cushing). These are both Amicus Productions, and I do love the Amicus portmanteau horror films.
I took a look at the old DVD of the former, and I could tell right away that I'd never even seen this movie. What's more, in chapter-surfing and watching a minute here and there, I found it fairly dismal in its overall look, and just plain unappealing, story- and acting-wise. (It's a Jekyll and Hyde adaptation, but this one sure wasn't attracting my interest.)
As for the latter, I'm pretty sure I've never seen it, either, and I even remember a friend telling me not to bother with it.
So do I have the wrong impressions of these? Anyone here care to talk me into buying or avoiding?
