The extraordinary Hollywood beauty Venetia Stevenson stars as the beautiful young innocent in the classic chiller City of the Dead. This exemplary horror film creates suspense and fright by constructing eerie and haunting images and atmospheres, as well as with tried and true devices: murder, secret evil, cults, witches, blood, and (of course) gore. With fine acting from veterans like Christopher Lee, City of the Dead attains magnificent degrees of mayhem and dark danger with a quality that few horror films can boast – it was a contemporary of Hitchcock’s Psycho and they are similar films. City of the Dead is top notch horror fare, and should be seen by all fans of the macabre.
