For all its flaws, I love this film. So atmospheric and original. The first time you see Radu Molasar surrounded by smoke is amazing and such an original effect. Oddly, I think Ian McKellen is the weak link in this movie. In my opinion his acting was not upto the high level I have come to expect from him. I would love to see the orginal cut.
I remember seeing this for the first time on cable as a little kid, I was probably 10 years old. It blew my mind! I just recently read the book the audio as well. Highly recommend checking out the original source material. The author, of course couldn’t stand the movie because it is really different. I mean in the sense that the hero character is really flushed out and you really get a sense of what he’s there to do. And the villain is more vampiric than what we see in the film. But I love the look of molar in the film! I love the film and the movie. It’s like comparing the shining movie to the shining book.
Good points, I think a lot of people who didn't like the movie had a problem with not understanding the hero character and the vampire like qualities of the villain. But the explanation is in the movie, but you have to pay attention. I haven't read the book, should check it out some time.
watched this film back in the day when i was younger and remember enjoying it even tho its a very divisive i can see wuy some people might not like it i thought it was very atmospheric with a great score its stuck with me till this day gonna rewatch it soon : )
Next month you should be able to get it directly from the Vinegary Syndrome site. They are having partners month this month, where they remove all of their other releases and only sale movies from their partner labels. I would think after that you'll also be able to get it directly from Amazon.
@ I’ve been steadily building my Imprint collection. Just last week alone I’ve added Superstition and The Blair Witch Collection. They tend to add more special features and much better cover art.
It’s about time. I’ve only been waiting for this for literally decades.
Truth!
I *cannot imagine* The Keep without that Tangerine Dream score!
Right, it didn't have the same dreamlike effect.

good review mate : )
Thanks man!
But definitely if you have audible, check out the audio addition of the book! The narrator is amazing doing the voices and everything
Sounds awesome!

Sounds like it's due for a rewatch!
Great video, I remember seeing this movie talked about on 'In Search of Darkness'. I must give it a watch. New sub :)
Heck yeah, thanks!
I think I got lucky. Placed my order on the 29th of November. Standard edition Blu Ray. Damn expensive too .
Where can I get it now it’s sold out.. Except for eBay??

@ many thx I will definitely buy it
I wanted this, I really did but there’s no way an I willing to drop what the scalpers are asking for it. I’ll wait for the imprint edition.
You should be able to get it through Vinegar Syndrome next month. Or at least the standard version. The Imprint edition may be more impressive though.
