Summary:

A young coed (Nan Barlow) uses her winter vacation to research a paper on witchcraft in New England. Her professor recommends that she spend her time in a small village called Whitewood. He originally cam from that village so he also recommends she stay at the "Raven's Inn," run by a Mrs. Newlis. She gets to the village and notices some weird happenings, but things begin to happen in earnest when she finds herself "marked" for sacrifice by the undead coven of witches. It seems that the innkeeper is actually the undead spirit of Elizabeth Selwyn, and the "guests" at the inn are the other witches who have come to celebrate the sacrifice on Candalmas Eve. As one of them said when Nan walked away, "HE will be PLEASED."

Description

The City of the Dead (1963) aka Horror Hotel, directed by John Llewellyn Moxey, Arrow remastered, encoded in 10 bit HEVC with AAC sound, including original theatrical mono, three commentary tracks, and English subtitles.

IMDb : https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053719/

Video encoded in two-pass 7 000 kbps x265 10bit with the veryslow preset for archive quality image.

English subtitles OCRed, proofed and corrected.

Note : A little bit of an oddball production here, this is actually a British production, but it's set in New England, and all the (British) actors speak with American accents. Christopher Lee gets top billing, although his role as a slightly sinister college professor teaching the history of witchcraft is actually rather small. This definitely falls into the category of folk horror, and it's perhaps particularly notable for the extremely atmospheric and beautiful cinematography, full of black-robed figures ominously emerging from the omnipresent mist.

The fairly simple story is about the town of Whitewood, where a witch and her accomplice who were burned at the stake, but gained eternal life from Lucifer in return for twice-yearly human sacrifices. In the current day, a chipper college student wants to do some field investigation for her history of witchcraft class, and is encouraged by her professor to go to Whitewood. The town and its inhabitants are strange and threatening, and when she doesn't return, her fiancé and her brother try to track her down, in the process uncovering a conspiracy of witches.

This is a very nice looking remaster, light levels might be graded a tad too high, but in general not much to complain about. The original mono track sounds fine, and the three commentary tracks, including one with Christopher Lee and another with the director, are all quite good.

Hot tip

Quote:

HeVK torrents always have lots of keywords. Try searching for “hevk witch” for more witchcraft, “hevk folk horror” for more horror based on folklore, legends, and cursed land, or “hevk 60s” for more from the decade when Christopher Lee was seemingly in everything.
