Celluloid Wunderkammer Review: The Phantom Empire (1935)

From http://wrongsideoftheart.com/wp-content/gallery/posters-p/phantom_empire_poster_03.jpg

Dirs. Otto Brower and B. Reeves Eason

Dare you go into the underground world of Murania? Can a cowboy defeat a death ray? Can country singer Gene Autry save Radio Ranch, and what did I actually think of this American film serial? All of this may be answered if you follow the link here. A film serial was cover before, but not combining cowboys and robots.

Videotape Swapshop Review: Les vampires (1915)

From http://image.toutlecine.com/photos/v/a/m/vampires-1915-01-g.jpg


Dir. Louis Feuillade
France

Continuing with my Videotape Swapshop reviews, this is the oldest work I have probably reviewed yet anywhere, the legendary film serial from the same creator of Fantomas (1913), which I need to reinvestigate and actually watch all the way through. This serial is excellent though by itself.
