Beware My Brethren [Region B] [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Featuring an electrifying original gospel/folk soundtrack alongside mean-spirited kills, Vinegar Syndrome is proud to bring BEWARE MY BRETHREN to Blu-ray, in its fully uncut international version.

Veterans like Patrick Magee and Ann Todd gave the film some class in between a couple of nihilistic murder sequences involving the strangulation of half naked women interspliced with a funky gospel soundtrack of a singing congregation. Starring Patrick Magee (Masque of the Red Death, The Skull, Tales from the Crypt), The Fiend is a must for all lovers of cult horror. As expected, the anamorphic transfer under the Beware My Brethren title was better than the very poor Image disc, and the restoration of the missing footage (especially a rough bit in a swimming pool) gives the film a much stronger punch.In his spare spare time he's on the streets handing out pamphlets for the church, which just happens to be in the basement of his mother's house.

Lesser known is the output of Robert Hartford-Davis (1923-1977) who had entered the industry with the brisk quota quickie crime thriller Crosstrap (1962) and progressed on to the exploitation number The Yellow Teddy Bears (1963). Howarth doesn’t pause for breath and he can have a tendency to digress too much into the history of other productions of the period that share actors or crew. A man who was brought up by his religious brethren is doing what he believes to be gods work by killing what he sees as sinful women. com is an Introducer Appointed Representative of Pay4Later Limited, trading as Deko, which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 728646).Sadly, whilst the film strives for greatness it never quite achieves it despite a bat shit crazy finale, and at the end of the day can only be considered a minor classic of sleazy British horror. The film is set against a background of religious fanaticism and, as with other films directed by Hartford-Davis, also includes elements of the sexploitation genre of the early 1970s. One day at the pool, he is outraged when a young woman removes her bikini top and later follows her home to exact retribution for her Godless ways. The opening murder in the BBC version includes a more prolonged strangulation scene, as well as some further nudity as Kenny strips his dead victim (Janette Wild). All the characters are very lame (annoying mother, annoying priest, annoying murderer) and I really had to keep myself awake and sit through this piece of crap.

Andy Milligan tackled British fundamentalism and sexual repression two years earlier with The Body Beneath, and that film is so much better -- not just weirder, but more creative as well. Simultaneously hilarious and awesome: the congregation breaks out into an incredible song, with Maxine Barriesinging her heart out.The second audio commentary, by critic Samm Deighan, is ported over from a previous American Vinegar Syndrome release. Geeky and repressed mama's boy Kenny Wemys (a creepy and convincing performance by Tony Beckley) is the toxic product of a strict religious upbringing that compels him to go out and kill any women that he perceives as immoral.
