The French DVD Releases


Misterios de ultratumba/The Black Pit of Dr. M


El hombre y el monstruo/The Man and the Monster


La maldicion de la Llorona/The Curse of the Crying Woman


La marca del muerte/Creature of the Walking Dead


El pantano de las animas/Swamp of the Lost Souls

While CasaNegra and BCI/Deimos are bringing out classic Mexican horror films on DVD in the United States, a small French DVD company, Bach Films, is doing the same for the French market. Bach Films has twelve releases, all of which stem from the Alameda Films catalog, the same company from whom CasaNegra is acquiring its films. The twelve, with their commonly known English titles, are:

El vampiro/The Vampire
El ataud del vampiro/The Vampire's Coffin
El baron del terror/The Brainiac
La cabeza viviente/The Living Head
El espejo de la bruja/The Witch's Mirror
El hombre y el monstruo/The Man and the Monster
La maldicion de la Llorona/The Curse of the Crying Woman
La marca del muerte/Creature of the Walking Dead (the Warren-edited version)
Misterios de ultratumba/The Black Pit of Dr. M
El mundo de los vampiros/The World of the Vampires
El grito de la muerte/The Living Coffin
El pantano de las animas/Swamp of the Lost Souls

Based on French reviews of the DVDs that have already been released in this series, it appears the quality is very good, indicating that the same upgraded masters are being, or have been, used by CasaNegra. None of these DVDs have English-subtitling, btw.
