Movie Reviews

Boris Karloff's Excursion Into The Paranormal
Robert Huggins | Suburban Philadelphia, PA United States | 01/05/2005
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Fans of the television series "One Step Beyond" and "The Twilight Zone" will most likely enjoy this collection of 10 episodes that, unfortunately, never aired, at least as intended as a weekly half-hour anthology series. This was due to financial problems of the production company. Later, episodes were edited together to create a "movie" that was syndicated to local television stations. Boris Karloff introduces and closes each episode and appears in nine of the ten episodes in varied roles, which showcase his acting skills to a greater extent than many of his horror film roles.



Reflecting its "public domain" status, there have been several releases of "The Veil" on DVD from Something Weird (Image) and Madacy, and Brentwood Communications included all 10 episodes as a bonus on one of its multi-pack horror DVD collections. This collection, from Platinum Disc Corporation, is the least expensive offering so far, but that shouldn't put off anyone who has an interest in seeing the series. Simply put, the visual quality of the episodes is excellent; in terms of its classic TV offerings, "The Veil" is arguably Platinum Disc Corporation's best looking release. That said, it's not perfect . . . as is the case with their other classic TV releases, the Platinum logo appears at the bottom right-hand corner occasionally and there are absolutely no extras, not even a Karloff biography.



The bottom line is that "The Veil" is an enjoyable anthology of stories of the paranormal that will appeal to fans of that genre, as well as Boris Karloff fans."

UNBELIEVIBLE QUALITY!!!
Richard J. Oravitz | 02/22/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The Platinum dvd (2-disc set) featuring all 10 Hal Roach produced episodes is by all standards the ONE to get!

Beautiful, crystal sharp b&w episodes!!! No scratches, no audio hiss, no murky visuals...this is an exceptional bargain, if not the best bargain out there for lost tv episodes (the series was never released to commercial tv). Production, script and acting top-notch, totally enjoyable. Shot on film and not on video tape. Too bad those involved just couldn't get it going as the series has all the marks of being a true winner...a couple of the stories have left lingering impressions a year after viewed!!! I can't praise this set enough!!! Please buy and enjoy, especially if a fan of TWILIGHT ZONE, ONE STEP BEYOND, etc."
