Kenneth Magee – writer, but none of his books has been able to become a national bestseller, Kenneth because , frankly, vegetate . One day, Kenneth argues with his publisher at $ 20,000 , that he will be able to write a novel for the day . However, for this he needs a quiet and preferably a deserted place , Kojima is an old Welsh castle. However, in this house of tranquility Kenneth not to find.
The film “House of Long Shadows” 1982 was the last directorial work Englishman Pete Walker and , unlike almost all of his other paintings, “The House of Long Shadows” is not a movie from the category of R, because this tape can be viewed only as a mystical gothic comedy with elements slasher . However , the film is still incredibly interesting and dynamic , full of gorgeous dark and purely British atmosphere that builds self- direction of Pete Walker , stylish camera work by Norman G. Langley, who shot the beautiful castle and its mysterious surroundings and excellent plot, in which the viewer is waiting many surprises.
Also in the picture is occupied by a truly stellar cast , which includes the true titans of horror , Christopher Lee, Vincent Price , Peter Cushing and John Kerredayna who created nezabyaemye and bright images that have become a real decoration of the film. Also very good in the role of Kenneth and Desi Arnaz ml . , Who performed a very colorful protagonist.
Composer Richard Harvey wrote to the picture bright and melodic soundtrack, ideally coming up to its visuals .
I recommend this wonderful in every sense of the picture all the fans of horror films and the fine black comedy , a way this picture , too, can be carried safely .
