Movie Reviews of The Norliss Tapes
Movie Review: Thriller of a Tale!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was about nine years old when I first saw this movie on television. It would have been its original premiere that I caught around 1975. I have never forgotten this movie. I have also searched for it without even remembering its title, but knew I would recognize it immediately when I found it. You know how your memory of things are when you are a child. I ordered it and found that it was just as thrilling as I remembered, and that says a lot, because everyone has experienced the let down of the real thing not measuring up to a vivid memory. I rated this movie 5 stars and would gladly give it 6 stars if that were possible. I think it has a lot to do with how carefully the director/producer was at setting up his scenes. This movie was the brainchild of the same person that brought us Dark Shadows and was also involved in the original Night Stalker movies. It has been added to my favorite collection of movies to watch on Halloween. I enjoy showing it to friends who are totally unfamiliar with it. They become involved in the story. It is fun to watch them!Movie Review: Dan Curtis film and series
Summary: 5 Stars
This little film was released at the time of Kolchack the night stalker series and is quite good ,although it is very close to previous horror films made for TV.Norliss is a writer investigating the supernatural and trying to debunk theories of witchcraft/monsters etc....but meets a true walking dead man in Angie Dickinson's dead husband.He is making a sculpture of a demon with blood and clay to bring it to life.David Norliss ruins the plan along the way in this Robert Cobert/Dan Curtis film both associated with Dark Shadows 60s tv show and his series of Night stalker/strangler films.Not as good as those 2 features but it will satisfy an audience who loves dark tv movies from early 70s.Another Dan Curtis film is Scream of the Wolf 1974 with Clint Walker and Peter Graves that would be used as similiar type of film.It has narration by Norliss and is not as effective as Darren McGavin in Night Stalker but oh well??? enjoyMovie Review: Excelente de Principio a Fin
Summary: 5 Stars
De la Mano de Dan Curtis, Llega este film de Thriller y Terror.
David Norliss (Roy Thinnes) es un detective que es contratado por Ellen Sterns (Angie Dickinson) para invertigar extraños sucesos dentro de su mansion tras la muerte de su esposo, un excentrico millonario que se dedicaba a coleccionar arte antigua y oscura.
Lo que ellos no sospechan es que este es el inicio de la lucha contra las fuerzas oscuras de un antiguo dios, Sargoth, al cual intentan resucitar; deberan a toda costa impedir su retorno.
Episodio Piloto de una serie que nunca fue continuada, para muchos una joya del Cine de terror de los 70's; particularmente excelente desde el punto de Vista del Cine fantastico y Terrorifico.
Recomendada 100%, la pelicula tiene un ambiente oscuro durante todo el transcurso de esta y la actuacion esta a la altura del reparto.
Movie Review: GREAT - MADE FOR TV 70'S HORROR
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me add my voice to the others who have already raved about "The Norliss Tapes". I had almost forgotten how good TV was in the 70's! Now thanks to DVD's when "Reallity - TV" has me ready to throw a brick at my screen. I can escape to something well written and with some kind of producion values.
Some will remark on the lack of or quality of the Special Effects. For instants there is little in the way blood and gore by todays standards.
This was obviously a pilot for a series and it leaves you at the end of the Chapter 1 tape in the Norliss book which leaves you wondering what chapter two would have held.
Movie Review: A blast from the past!
Summary: 5 Stars
Made in the aftermath of the success of the two Kolchak tv movies, this Dan Curtis effort written by Bill Nolan (LOGAN'S RUN) starred Roy Thinnes (THE INVADERS)as author/investigator David Norliss. Comissioned to do a book debunking the supernatural, his efforts soon show him truths not meant to be found. After vanishing his publisher goes to his house and discovers a series of audio tapes. He puts in the first one and this unsold pilot begins. Also starring Claude Akins, Angie Dickenson and Don Porter. Maybe a little sedate for younger viewers it's still a pretty decent scare ride with good (for tv) production values.
