The Pirates of Blood River Blu-ray Review

The Pirates of Blood River is a somewhat curious entry from Hammer Films which stars the inimitable Christopher Lee as an eyepatch-wearing cutthroat. It has arrived on Blu-ray with a typically excellent high-definition transfer from Sony.

A fun movie & a great cast (Christopher Lee, what a class act!). In 1962 it did the rounds in the UK on a double bill with Mysterious Island & I can still remember seeing it after all these years (& I think I prefered Pirates). In my film lab days I used to work with an old timer who did some uncredited sound editing work on the film & he had a habit of calling everyone matey, after the Michael Ripper pirate who calls everyone matey in the film, & I find myself doing the same thing these days, as I can never remember peoples names.
