Review Der Golem [1920] / Scream Time Video:A relic certainly, but a fascinating one, Der Golem is perhaps the screen's first great monster movie. Though it was actually the third time director-star Paul Wegener had played the eponymous creation, the earlier efforts (sadly lost) were rough drafts for this elaborate dramatisation of the Jewish legend. When the Emperor decrees that the Jews of mediaeval Prague should be evicted from the ghetto, a mystical rabbi creates a clay giant and summons the demon Astaroth who breathes out in smoky letters the magic word that will animate the golem. Intended as a protector and avenger, the golem is twisted by the machinations of a lovelorn assistant and, like many a monster to come, runs riot, terrorising guilty and innocent alike until a little girl innocently ends his rampage. Wegener's golem is an impressively solid figure, the Frankenstein monster with a slightly comical girly clay-wig. The wonderfully grotesque Prague sets and the alchemical atmosphere remain potent. On the DVD: Der Golem on disc has an imaginative menu involving the rabbi opening a book of spells that leads to alternate versions of the film with German or English inter-titles. The print is cobbled from several sources and tinted to the original specifications, with an especially impressive crimson glow as the ghetto burns. The extras are an audio essay, illustrated with clips, on Der Golem and German Expressionist cinema in general, plus a gallery of stills and other illustrations. -Kim Newman.

Review The Ape Man [1943] / Delta Visual Entertainment:One of the areas of human knowledge which has expanded fastest over the last few decades is our awareness of the complexities of human evolution. Ape·Man is a useful summary of the current state of play dealing with such important questions as the divergence of early hominids from the other apes and the final confrontation of modern humans and their Neanderthal cousins. It is a fair-minded handling of some of the crucial debates-at what point, say, is it legitimate to talk of humans and human ancestors starting to decorate their possessions, say, and when did language and the complex innovations in hunting it makes possible start to be a factor? Inventive portrayals of the life of early humans as they wander out of the mists of time alternate with coherent and accessible accounts of fossil evidence, DNA studies and archaeology; this is both an intellectually satisfying series and an emotionally charged one. -Roz Kaveney.

Review The Little Shop Of Horrors [1960] / Whe Europe Limited:Hilarious, tacky black comedy from 1960 that may be the best film by B-picture master Roger Corman, other than Bucket of Blood, made about the same time with the same writer, Charles Griffith. Seymour (Jonathan Haze) is an assistant in a skid-row flower shop who's on the point of losing his job when the unusual plant he's developed turns the store into a major attraction. The only problem is that the plant needs human blood to live, all the while crying, "Feed me! FEED ME!" Luckily, Seymour causes a series of inadvertent deaths that more than make up for the food shortage. Jack Nicholson provides a comic sidebar as a masochistic nutter visiting a dentist's office. Giggling and wild-eyed from the same impulse that might lead others to read scandal sheets, he can be seen in the dentist's waiting room reading aloud from Pain magazine. Famous for having the shortest shooting schedule on record (two days and a night), The Little Shop of Horrors spawned an off-Broadway musical that was in turn made into a successful film in 1986, starring Rick Moranis and Steve Martin. It was in just this quick-shoot atmosphere that Corman nurtured the careers of many of America's most celebrated film directors; this little shop of honours included Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, Martin Scorsese, and Jonathan Demme. -Jim Gay.

Review The Masque Of The Red Death [1964] / Warner Home Video:Based on a short story by the father of modern crime and horror fiction, Edgar Allen Poe, The Masque of the Red Death stars Vincent Price as Prospero, enjoying a reign of debauched decadence while his castle shields him from the plague. Prospero holds a masque for a corrupt medieval nobility but the sadistic revels are joined by an uninvited guest, the Red Death itself. Jane Asher has never looked more beautiful and her colourfully designed nightmare equals Salvador Dali's contribution to Spellbound (1945). Produced and directed by Roger Corman, this is the most famous and probably the best of the hundreds of movies (including an inferior 1989 remake) with which the undisputed king of the B picture has been involved. With an intelligent, poetic screenplay paying homage to Igmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal (1957), this is a luxurious and elegant horror film (though the full-screen transfer does diminish the outstanding Panavision images of cinematographer Nic Roeg, who would later direct his own horror classic, Don't Look Now in 1973). The film is just one of a series of Poe adaptations Corman made with Price in the 1960s: The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) and The Tomb of Ligeia (1965) also being particularly notable. -Gary S. Dalkin.
