The Red House - Stylish Home Decor for Modern Living Rooms & Bedrooms | Perfect for Farmhouse, Rustic & Contemporary Interior Design

THE RED HOUSE deserves better - it really begs for a restoration. It's a terrific "little" film - Superbly realized in EVERY department. But I am writing this as a warning, not a film review.BEWARE of everything sleazed out of Alpha Video! This is the schlock company who brought us such gems as: I EAT YOUR SKIN, NABONGA, THE SEXORSIST, and the imortal; EEGAH (!). Alpha specializes in out of copywrite "B" features - But unfortunately they also have some great classics: SCARLET STREET, SEVENGALI, ORPHANS OF THE STORM, and THE RED HOUSE (to mention a few, that Alpha treats with the same disreguard for quality as they do EEGAH.)I knew not to expect much - but THE RED HOUSE is not available from a respectable company (Alpha is NOT) - and until it is, (doubtful) I'd have to "make do" - Well let me tell ya, "make do" is what ya do with this Alpha desaster!The picture is "watchable" - barely (scratches,streaks, contrasty, muddy darks, and glitches)- The audio is ABYSMAL (Miklos Rozsa's thrillingly moody score is all but destroyed by this rotten transfer).How very unfortunate that a company such as Alpha is the only source for some long forgotten film treasures. Indeed it is our loss. WARNING: BEWARE of anything made by Alpha Video, it's at the very bottom of the DVD barrel. Everything that they offer will be of the WORST quality. But sometimes you don't have a choise if that's all that's available. I've longed to see THE RED HOUSE again for years, so decided to be another Alpha chump in order to see what I so fondly remembered. The film was as good as I'd remembered, no masterpiece, but a damned good little moody thriller.Five Stars for the THE RED HOUSE - And a BIG BOOTED FOOT to Alpha Video ("where the sun don't shine.")!Saving grace: it's inexpensive - as well it should be from a company with no integrity or even a semblance of quality. Order THE RED HOUSE, but know that you're getting "the sows ear", not the "silk purse".
