<BODY bgcolor="#CCCC99"> <font size="2"><p>DVD Review <font size="4"><br><i>The City of the Dead</i></font> <br>by Gary Johnson</font> <p>Horror film aficionados have long known about an underrated, little-recognized gem from the early '60s called <i>Horror Hotel</i>. For many years, this movie was only available in America in generally poor-quality video transfers, second- and third-generation dupes from worn theatrical prints. However, in 1995 Elite Entertainment discovered a decent print and released the movie on laserdisc (which they followed in 1998 with a DVD release). <p>Now, VCI Entertainment ups the ante further. VCI has uncovered a print in excellent condition of the British release version of <i>Horror Hotel</i>, titled <i>The City of the Dead</i>, and prepared a superb DVD package filled with extras. The disc contains interviews with director John Moxey and stars Christopher Lee and Venetia Stevenson (daughter of director Robert Stevenson of <i>Mary Poppins</i> fame); audio commentaries by Christopher Lee and John Moxey; a photo gallery; and other extras. <p><a href="default-nf.htm">Go to the review</a></font> </body>
