The Italian low budget picture «House of Clocks» («the House with hours») the ingenious madman and one of the best world directors of films of horrors Лучио Фульчи, known to film fans on bloody masterpieces «the Seventh gate of the Hell», «Devourers of a flesh», «the House on the brink of a cemetery» etc., is let out on DVD the first zone by the American company Media Blasters in нецензурированной versions.
So it has turned out, that the first film of a new heading, unfortunately, there was «The Fog» ("Fog") of 2005 (нецензурированная the version). DVD it is let out in the first zone by the company «Sony Pictures Entertainment». The film is removed by the English director Rupertom Uejnrajtom known on statement of a quite good mystical picture «Стигматы», with participation of young actors from the USA. First of all, it is necessary to notice, that "Fog" is a remake of the film of horrors of 1980 of the well-known John Carpenter with the same name ("Halloween", «Runaway from New York», "Something"). Recently in the USA the boom of remakes - of "horror films" is observed: «hills have eyes», «Омен», «the Texas slaughter бензопилой","Horror Амитивилля» and so on. There are among them very sound "processings", however some are not only pale similarity of originals, but also deserve that them somewhat quicker «have put on a shelf» and have forgotten as a dreadful dream. « The fog »2005 just belongs to the second category. It is surprising, as such, basically, not untalented director as Уэйнрайт, could remove the perfect bosh which completely has discredited on all parametres the original shining, in my opinion, of Carpenter (it taking into account that, as its many critics consider as weak enough film).
Dear friends!
Creation of a new heading is dictated, first of all, by desire to expand volume of the reviewed films which have been let out on DVD, to spend comparison between the Russian and international releases. Despite the heading name – «the First zone», we will analyze not only the films which have been let out in the USA, but also disks from other countries (it is natural if those are seen). The matter is that первозонные DVD simply it is easier to buy in Moscow – they can be ordered in «the Purple legion» and "Ozone" (though the given service in the last while is temporarily inaccessible) or to get in a network of shops «Titanic of Video-rekords». Besides it is frequent films on DVD the first zone are presented in нецензурированной or director's versions that causes to them additional interest (unfortunately, for Russia similar releases are atypical).
So, welcome in our new heading!
