Blu-ray Review – Tower of Evil

Produced two years before 1974's "Black Christmas," "Tower of Evil" has
built a reputation in recent years as one of the forefathers of the
slasher subgenre, which would go on to mainstream success in iconic
pictures such as "Halloween" and "Friday the 13th." While the effort
doesn't have much creative gas in its tank, it remains an interesting
sit due to its historical placement, detailing a reign of terror that
picks off victims in a most gruesome manner, often catching these poor
folks following sexual relations, thus making their exit from the film
all the more cruel. "Tower of Evil" is rough on patience levels, but
there's undeniable craftsmanship to study, displaying interesting
atmosphere that emphasizes oncoming doom, while the friskiness of the
characters is remarkable. In fact, there's so much attention paid toward
the sexual proclivities of the personalities, it's easy to forget the
stillborn fright feature antics that rarely add up to genuine chills. Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
