The Cellar

Neat little Creature Feature from the director of Witchboard

Another blind buy that really hit the sweet spot. Great creature FX, good story and cast. Worth picking this one up before it goes OOP

Cool '80s monster movie in 2 versions

A film I had never heard of before yet I knew the director's other work. This is a slight notch below stuff like Witchboard and Night Of The Demons (and especially the diamond-in-the-rough Witchtrap), but it's always fun to see Patrick Killpatrick shine on. I've always thought of the recent era of physical media as the perfect way to 'salvage' cut-to-ribbons films from yesteryear and while I can think of other titles that deserve it more, it's nice here to get the theatrical cut (which is a bit of a mess but looks great) and Tenney's original vision (slightly less great shape).

Better than what I expected!

I can say that I'm a fan of Kevin Tenney. I love Night of the Demons and Witchboard. The Cellar is a great addition to his filmography despite the slightly troubled production. Great mood and, great characters great setting! This release from our friends at Vinegar Syndrome boasts a great transfert and awesome extras. The two versions of the film (the theatrical cut and the director’s cut) is a really great addition. A must have!
