Kolchak The Night Stalker Season 1 Dvd Download Torrent Full
Disc is simply a great looking transfer of a 46 year-old TV movie. it retains the original 1:33:1 aspect ratio that might bother those who want their TV screen completely filled, but otherwise is a gorgeous restoration with some nice extras, too.
As for the film itself... For a while, this 1972 TV movie was the most watched program in television history. A well made story of a fallen from grace reporter (Darren McGavin) who comes to believe a series of murders in Las Vegas are being committed by an actual vampire (a creepy Barry Atwater). As the authorities (led by movie and TV vet Claude Akins) are in denial, reporter Carl Kolchak decides to confront and destroy the undead fiend himself, if the bloodthirsty Janos Skorzeny doesn’t kill him first.
A solid horror thriller for a TV movie and a strong characterization from Christmas Story dad, McGavin as Kolchak. There is very little blood as it was made for TV, but director John Llewellyn Moxey (Horror Hotel) directs from legendary writer Richard Matheson’s script based on the book, ‘The Kolchak Papers’ by Jeff Rice and makes up for it by providing a healthy dose of thrills and chills and takes the proceedings very serious which makes it all work. The Night Stalker is considered a classic by many and it spawned a decent sequel, Night Strangler, before becoming a TV series that sadly took a campy approach to the supernatural stories and the Kolchak character. Said to have been the inspiration for The X-Files (which returned the favor by having McGavin guest star in 2 episodes as an agent.). Also starring Simon Oakland as Kolchak’s long suffering boss, Tony Vencenzo who would also join McGavin in the sequel and the short lived series. I am proud to say I watched this the night it first aired and it scared the heck out of my 7 year-old self!
