Midnight Video

An archive of two chaps, a laptop and a mic attempting to unearth the lost, forgotten and overlooked in cinema.

Midnight Video 11: Perinbaba, Topkapi and The Body Snatcher

So, Glastonbury festival is under way and as people wallow in the mud watching the likes of Bono and his backing band or B'ouncy all the clever people are in the comfort of their homes either watching films, wondering what films to watch or downloading Midnight Video 11.

The show heads east first of all for a Slovakian interpretation of a Brothers Grimm tale with Perinbaba, then we go due south and drop in on a Turkish museum in Topkapi before we do a 180 and go north to Edinburgh where two horror titans face each other for a final time in The Body Snatcher.
