A Better Look at THE BLANCHEVILLE MONSTER


If you've only seen "Martin Herbert's" [Alberto de Martino's] HORROR in its English version known as THE BLANCHEVILLE MONSTER, then you've only ever seen it from a dullish, cropped 16mm source. Here in the USA, it was released directly to television by AIP-TV and never shown on a big screen. 

Now follow the above link and take a look at this complete 35mm HD Italian version and realize how cheated we've been all these years. Sorry, no English subtitles - but consider this a visual treat. If you're short on time, go directly to the sequence starting at 33:50. This film was photographed by the talented Alejandro Ulluoa (THE DIABOLICAL DR Z) and lensed partly in Madrid. Those of you who know your way around Spanish horror are bound to recognize the exterior location in this particular sequence.
