Mill of the Stone Women new DVD

Crystal Plumage · 11-29-2007, 09:35 PM

Right,I already have this one on DVD from Mondo Macabro and it's one of my favorites.
In the Bava vein with some added "Dutchness" although it looks more Belgian to me..Very nice,a bit erotic and very creepy.
A Gothic classic!
Now NEW (the German label) has released this as well.In two different covers:

and

Quote:

In the style of the late Mario Bava, this unforgettable classic contains scenes that rank among the very best the genre has to offer. In sparkling Technicolor, the film emerges as a truly stunning piece of cinematic mastery – as well as a nightmare-inducing vision of hell.

A young artist is hired to do a study of a famous local landmark, a windmill that contains stone statues of notorious female monsters of the past. One day he meets a mysterious, dangerously beautiful woman at the mill. Before long, he is drawn into her clutches. Just what is the terrible secret that keeps her hiding from the world?

The MM release could be better but I doubt NEW have added anything NEW (

) though and the print will likely be the same.
But it's still nice to see this Gothic classic mentioned again.
And I love those covers!

Great film. I dig the covers too.

I really dig those covers, not enough to double dip though. What a wonderful film. Nice to see the intrest!

I got this in the mail yesterday but haven't had a chance to check it out. I will report back when I get the chance to give it a spin.

i have the Neo Publishing release, which has a bland slipcase but a superb cover (like cover B).

watched a couple of years ago and wasn't that impressed, maybe have to re-evaluate some time

Solid release of a very good film. I'm glad I picked this up. I'll throw up some screen shots when I get a chance if anyone is interested, maybe if time permits I can throw some up of the Mondo Macabro disc as well.

Crystal Plumage · 12-14-2007, 09:33 PM

That'd be great!
Looking forward to it.

I dig that first cover. Girls were so hot in the 60s! I may have to check this film out (it's always looked interesting but I never wanted to blind buy it, since I've batted about .500 with Mondo Macabro over the years).

Great to see Pierre Brice before his worldwide fame as Indian hero Winnetou, he's still a handsome fella today at 78!

Just popped over at http://www.cultmovieforums.com/forum...ad.php?t=13394 , thanks to the ABUK Forum thread in OT,where I coincidentally found a comparison between the MM DVD and the NEW DVD:
