I've just received something that may be of interest to you lovely people.
BFI Flipside Presents: Short Sharp Shocks (Rated 18, 2 disc set with booklet, 216 minutes).
Sadly I don't own a blue-ray player so, I've loaned it to my brother who going to put some of it on data stick for me. These disc are full of short horrors - not large enough to be put out on there own.
A quick not-comprehensive list of the shorts and short film on it;
Lock your Door (Anthony Gikison, 1949) - 15 mins
the Reformation of St. Jules (Anthony Gikison, 1949) - 14 mins
The Tell-Tale Heart (J B Williams, 1953) - 21 mins
Death was a Passenger (Theodore Zichy, 1958) - 18 mins
Portrait of a Matador (Theodore Zichy, 1958) - 24 mins
Twenty-Nine (Brian Cummins, 1969) - 26 mins
The Sex Victims (Derek Robbins, 1973) - 37 mins
The Lake (Lindsey C. Vickers, 1978) - 33 mins
The Errand (Nigel Finch, 1980) -29 mins
And lots of extras besides. I personally bought it for The Lake, by the director of The Appointment (an unusually film I rate highly, although I think there is a slight disconnect in presentation, it is still a powerful film), anyway there's the scrips for the The Lake on the Disc and some making of type documents, which I'm looking forward to.
Reviews and comments on it when I have a chance to look at it.
