Well, to honest, youve really got to be into this stuff in the first place to find it enjoyable enough to pick up on BD. These are not horror films that your average genre-lover could easily take to. The Euro-trash mentality and quasi-surrealism mask what are, basically, incredibly slight and inferior stories. The imagery on offer may be weirdly compelling but Vengeance Of The Zombies really makes no sense at all and is only borderline horror and, as such, should probably only be seen as an extra feature alongside Werewolf. The main feature, however, is strangely atmospheric and it is always nice to see a full-bodied gothic frightfest with a man in a werewolf costume running about. Naschys place in horrors history books is assured, so he wont mind me saying, as an absolute aficionado of the genre, that he is a klutzy filmmaker and whilst his oeuvre may be outlandish, it is rarely other than yawn-inducing.
With a surprising release on Blu-ray, both Werewolf and Vengeance have probably never looked better, but these transfers are most definitely on the lower rung of 1080p material. The extras are cute but infinitely disposable and once-seen, like the movies, easily forgettable.
Only for the die-hards.
