Movie Reviews of The Norliss Tapes
Movie Review: WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO DAVID NORLISS ??
Summary: 5 Stars
From the creative mind of Dan Curtis comes the 1973 made for television movie "The Norliss Tapes". This was actually the pilot intended for "The Norliss Tapes" television series, sadly the show wasn't picked up by NBC Studios and we can only wonder what could have been? Anchor Bay has done a remarkable job with the video and sound transfer of this DVD release.
The picture is spectacular and the original 2.0 sound albeit in mono is clean and crisp. After all these years "The Norliss Tapes" is still creepy and highly entertaining. This is one movie I would love to see rise from the ashes and be reborn into a new television series. In 1969 Dan Curtis tried to create a show based on the investigations of a paranormal investigator with a pilot called "In the Dead of Night" sadly it never saw the light of day. After all these years one question still remains, what ever happened to David Norliss?

Summary of The Norliss Tapes
Before THE X FILES, There Was THE NORLISS TAPES From Dan Curtis Of DARK SHADOWS, TRILOGY OF TERROR & THE NIGHT STALKER Roy Thinnes stars as David Norliss, an investigative reporter writing a book exposing supernatural hoaxes and paranormal phenomena. But after a frightened phone call to his publisher, Norliss disappears leaving only a stack of cassettes on which he?s dictated his strange findings. When a wealthy widow (Angie Dickinson) is attacked by the crazed corpse of her recently deceased husband, Norliss discovers a horrific case of empty crypts, blood-drained corpses and occult violence. What is the significance of an ancient Egyptian scarab? Who is completing a bizarre sculpture in the dead man?s studio? And what has happened to David himself? The terrifying answers ? and shocking truth ? may lay hidden in THE NORLISS TAPES. Vonetta McGee (BLACULA) and Claude Akins co-star in this landmark pilot produced and directed by Dan Curtis (DARK SHADOWS, THE NIGHT STALKER) and written by William F. Nolan (LOGAN?S RUN, BURNT OFFERINGS) that fans still call one of the most frightening made-for-TV movies of the decade.Similar DVD Movies
