It was an institutional problem that seemed to have been taking place at all these detention centres at that time,” he added.

The allegations of abuse by former members of staff at Medomsley Detention Centre are subject to an ongoing police investigation, therefore it would be inappropriate to comment further.” Three people – Wilf (Will Knightley), a teacher, Susie (Hilary Charlton), a nurse, and Henry (Henry Woolf), of no permanent job, decide to kidnap, torture and murder a government minister (Brendan Barry) as a revolutionary statement. They hire a blue-movie cameraman (hence the title), Georgie (William Hoyland) to film it all.

Settle down for another strange cinematic journey through uncanny stories, twists in the tale, low-budget weirdness, stylish spectacle, avant-garde art, peculiar public information, monstrous music and provocative experiment – many ultra-rare and all with oodles of atmosphere and in High Definition.And this one *is* better in a kind of early proto-Twilight Zone / Amicus kind of way. Why is painter David obsessed with the portrait he painted of matador Manuel during a trip to Spain? Is it because Manuel hated it, died as a result of bull-fighting injuries but before he did swore he would have revenge on David for depicting him in such an unflattering manner? Most notable to BritHorror fans for appearances by Sandra Dorne (Richard Gordon's 1963 DEVIL DOLL) as the one who causes all the trouble and Hammer actress Yvonne Romain (billed here as Yvonne Warren) who plays Manuel's sister. Volume 1 contained nine films and Volume 2 ten, and another ten are present here. They form the usual miscellany of cinema releases, television productions (including one cinema/TV hybrid), public information films and non-theatrical pieces. Some are very short: those two public information films are under a minute each, and two television productions both come in around the three-and-a-half minute mark. At the other end of the scale, two films in this set are just under the forty-five minutes which the Internet Movie Database defines as feature-length. A public information film, of sorts, this starts off as a warning to children not to go off with strangers until it finally becomes clear that it’s really a different warning about road-safety for children and that the three kids profiled here (Tommy, Bobby and Susan) were all based on children who were killed in actual traffic accidents. The grim narration claims that three children are killed on UK roads each day. The film was commissioned by the Long Eaton Safety Committee. Image Gallery : a selection of stills and posters for the likes of The Face of Darkness (22); The Dumb Waiter (32) and for The Mark of Lilith (75).

This is especially true of the older films in the collection, with a particular highlight being the version of The Tell-Tale Heart from 1953, featuring a performance of the famous Edgar Allan Poe short story by Stanley Baker. This is a film that was considered lost until it turned up by chance in 2018, and it exudes charm as Baker dramatically moves across a cramped set delivering the story with extravagant gusto, feeling all the while like a gem of British horror history that has been saved for posterity, and rightfully so. It's the gem of the whole collection and the one that should be sought out most of them all.The booklet then proceeds disc by disc and film by film, with some quite extensive notes. Jonathan Rigby gives a detailed look at Return to Glennascaul, likewise Botting on Strange Stories, and – rather shorter on shorter films – Vic Pratt on the two Strange Experiences pieces. Directors both alive and able to participate contribute to the booklet as well, so we have Bob Bentley on Maze, though much he says here overlaps with his interview on the disc.
