THE STONE TAPE ( 1972)
Continuing my trek the 1970s Horror TeleFilms, my next stop was a British Horror Telefilm called The Stone Tape.
This 1972 Ghost Story stars Jane Asher , a scientist who , in addition to her crew , uncovers the restless spirit , though whether or not a ghost is truly bedeviling the crew is debated.
The telefilm is on a small budget and being the 1970s, there really isn't room for spectacular, other worldly, antics , and stunts.
The focus is much more on the acting of Ms Asher , who is a person already struggling with her mental stability and now being forced to confront the restless spirit of a young woman .
As a massive, American, Beatles fan, Jane Asher is a significant , yet often overlooked figure in the Bands mythology.
She was, at one time, Paul McCartney's Fiancé , and she inspired some of the great love songs written primarily by Paul such as And I Love Her, Here, There, and Everywhere, For No One, and We Can Work It Out, to name a few .
Her Brother is Peter Asher of the another British Invasion rock duo, Peter and Gordon
I'd seen her act in Alfie , but her role was pretty limited in that film, so this is the first film I've ever seen her really show off her chops, and she was great .
The film isn't really scary , though the ending is eerie.
The Stone Tape aired on Christmas Day 1972 on BBC 2 , and in the top ten , in Britain , was yet another hit by the future, Sir, Elton John
And In Tribute ,to Jane Asher a song that was written about her a decade before The Stone Tape,

"Back to the Future" 40th anniversary re-release.
Great to see it on the big screen again.
Strange thing was, there were about 25 people in the theater, and my sister and I were the only ones who laughed at anything. None of the other people there laughed even once during the entire movie.

The best in the franchise since the original. A simple, back to basics, stripped down version of the Predator formula with great cinematography, setting and soundtrack. Criminal it didnt get a cinema release originally.

I haven't watched this in a while and it was nice to revisit this one again. I think I liked it even more the second time although I still find myself kind of struggling getting into the actual story but I always loved the 80's ness of it and David Warner was a fun villain.
7/10
Not going to lie I liked this more my second time watching eventhough CGI/de aged Jeff Bridges is still one hell of an eyesore lol. Love that Daft Punk score too.
7/10
Despite all the negativey surrounding this one I actually ended up enjoying it and wouldn't have minded if we got more films.

HOUSE OF DARK SHADOWS ( 1970)
Though The Classic Series was long off the air by the time I was born, growing up in the 1990s,
I heard about this Vampire Soap Opera in the 1960s called Dark Shadows, which was spoke of fondly by people of my parents generation.
Unfortunately, it was another one of those shows that didn't have re-runs in my neck of the woods, though , I'd heard the name of the series, break out character Barnabas Collins.
So, House Of Dark Shadows is my first official maiden voyage into the Dan Curtis produced saga.
The Show and This Film were basically shot at the same time, and while I get the sense that there are clearly things I'm not picking up on, having not followed the series, I could still watch it as a very new, 50 years later , viewer .
.
The film is pretty good, and does make me interested in exploring this world more .
The acting is good, and the copy I watched is in excellent condition .
Released on October 28th , 1970, In the top Ten that week in The U.S., was a tune by James Taylor
