Review by Clinton Morgan on 12th January 2007

Not so much a review more a rant. Okay, have it your way. 'Corridors of Blood' is a very good atmospheric horror film, Boris Karloff draws pity from you and Christopher Lee is first-rate creepy. Review over on with the rant. The Criterion edition of this film has the following extras on their DVD: Audio commentaries by Richard Gordon and writer Tom Weaver; New video interviews with Day and costars Francis Matthews and Yvonne Romain; Deleted scenes; Original theatrical trailers and radio spots ; Stills galleries featuring production and publicity photographs; Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing; PLUS: A booklet featuring Fangoria's 1984 interview with producer John Croydon about Karloff, and a new essay by Maitland McDonagh.

Whilst the British Region 2 edition has what you might say rhymes with "rugger ball". Why can't we have the same amount of extras that our transatlantic cousins have? Surely it cannot just boil down to copyright issues? Are DVD compiliers in Great Britain so afraid of being percieved as "nerdy" or "anally retentive" that they choose the apathetic route in producing DVDs? Case in point is 'Monty Python's Life of Brian'. With missing scenes such as the shepherds discussing cats, Otto the Jewish Nazi and that legendary encounter with Malcom Muggeridge and The Bishop of Southwark plus some radio spots for the film featuring Python parents what did Sony Pictures Home Entertainment do? Just stick on a trailer and one documentary. The berks! Of course the problem isn't helped when people say, "I don't care much for the extras, as long as I've got the film that's all that matters."

Some Of The Corpses Are Amusing (http://www.sotcaa.co.uk ) have the best term for this problem of America having the creme de la creme of extras and Britain making do with the scrapings and that is 'Big Digital Pond'. Not all of us have multi-region players and not all of us can afford to pay for shipping costs etc etc etc....

Grrrr!
