Blu-ray Review – The Scare Films Archives 2: Danger Stories

There’s always entertainment value when watching educational films from a long time ago. These are clips from different eras of training and, quite often, promotion, and most of these offerings are created to capture viewer attention, using whatever means possible to do so. “The Scare Films Archives 2: Danger Stories” collects thirteen educational shorts for examination, highlighting a few of the weirdest and most shameless when it comes to instructing people on all the safety decisions they might encounter during an average day. There’s horror in the mistakes made around heavy machines in 1980’s “Shake Hands with Danger,” and performance oddity in “Mr. Flame.” The petroleum industry gives themselves a firm pat on the back in 1954’s “Farm Petroleum Safety,” and the surreal is encountered during a talking vehicle strike in “The Day the Bicycles Disappeared.” “The Scare Films Archives 2: Danger Stories” supplies a nice range of offerings, mixing up the absurd and the sincere, delivering an engaging tour of American (and British) health and professional training.
