Truman Capote's extraordinary nonfiction book about the course of two killers in this world--their lives, their senseless slaughter of an entire family, their executions--was faithfully adapted for the screen in this 1967 film by Richard Brooks (Deadline USA, The Blackboard Jungle). Robert Blake and Scott Wilson are remarkable as the murderers, but what has kept this film special over the decades is Brooks's blunt, clearheaded, and nonsensational approach to the story. (The term "semidocumentary" has been applied to Brooks's style on this film, and it's an entirely fair description.) The experience of watching In Cold Blood is naturally unsettling, but the director--as with Capote--leaves final judgments about justice to the beholder. --Tom Keogh

In Cold Blood.......2007-06-27
Based on the best-selling exposé by Truman Capote, which told the story of the real-life November 15, 1959, slaying, Brooks's gritty, realistic docudrama offers an unflinching look at the perpetrators of a nonsensically horrific crime. Scott Wilson couldn't be better as the coldly manipulative Hickock. And Blake, in his breakout role, delivers the best performance of his career, playing a brutal psychopath- more than a trifle spooky, given the dramatic events Blake's later life. Filmed in stark black-and-white by Oscar nominee Conrad Hall, "Blood" is a harrowing masterpiece of true crime.
A real classic!.......2007-05-28
Nice to see this on DVD. I also have In Cold Blood on a sixteen millimeter film print however the DVD has the movie in 3 track (across the front speakers) stereo & I've never heard the movie that way as my film print is mono until I bought the DVD. Yes I'll keep both my film & this DVD. You bet I will....
A sublime adaptation of a literary masterpiece.......2007-05-21
In Cold Blood is a masterful adaptation of the literary work of the same name, which itself was a ground-breaking adaptation of true crime events. In the narrative, Truman Capote tells the story of two petty con men who together commit a mass murder that neither would have been inclined to pull off individually. The screenplay was adapted and directed by Richard Brooks in 1967, two years after the book's initial release in 1965.
The film was shot on location the small towns of Kansas, and the actual Clutter residence was used as the site of the murders. Robert Blake and Scott Wilson portray murders Perry Smith and Dick Hickock, respectively. The film has come under fire for sympathizing with the murderers, but, to me, they were just humanized on the big screen. The story is not sympathetic to the killers; rather, it reveals the life story of two men who had never killed before but were buoyed by criminal competitiveness and past demons to join forces and massacre a family. As hard as it is for the viewer (and the American public) to reconcile, the murderers were humans, and did have families and histories and moments of normalcy. The power of the film lies in its ability to show how forces can conspire to create tragedy--at so many moments leading up to and during the murder, either man could have changed the course of history.
Director Richard Brooks uses a stark, minimalist style to portray the true crime events. The murder takes place at the beginning of the movie, but not until late in the second half does the viewer get to see what took place inside the clutter home on that ice cold Kansas November night. The black & white cinematography is crisp and evocative of the times. This is a movie that stands the test of time and will live on indefinitely as a cinema classic.
Everything Works In This Masterpiece.......2006-10-09
What a sympathetic and truly sad tale about a pointless multiple murders based on speculations and hear-say. Robert Blake is amazing in this film and it is all carried carried on this character's shoulders and it works. Such a tragic story about his life, and it is even more so knowing that this movie and book is based on a true story. The film itself is put together beautifully and the mood is never broken. This is definitely a must see, especially with all the talk of Capote now that his biography has been turned into a really great movie as well. Capote did a fantastic job at showing the sympathy for a killer.
Don't Make Movies This Good Anymore.......2006-07-20
Very few movies, especially in black and white, can grab your attention from the beginning and hold it throughout the entire show. This movie does! The acting by the young Robert Blake has Oscar written all over it, and one of the hardest scenes to watch is when the trigger is pulled killing all of these innocent victims, that just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The movie was very well laid out. First, you are introduced to the main characters who carried out the crime and then after the crime has been committed the movie covers the trial. A very clever, thought out movie that you absolutely must see.

Cold blood.......2007-07-04
Some repeats are not as good as the original - this was one of them.
Tragic Mind-bender.......2007-03-07
In Cold Blood was a movie you had to pay close attention to so that you could understand what was going on & why, but not too difficult to do so that you couldn't enjoy the movie. It was tragic that innocent people had to die because of a couple of losers. Being innocent & trusting cost them, I believe. The movie was well made & explained the true-to-life story very good. The settings for the time period, etc. were well done & the acting was very good, with many emotional scenes, both sad & happy.
In Cold Blood is well worth watching!
TV DOESN'T QUITE MAKE IT WORK.......2007-01-23
This tv miniseries from 1996 seems to be an unnecessary remake of the classic film starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson.
Although the teleplay does give us more background on the Clutter family and the killers themselves, it's done in such a turgid and lethargic style, it's hard to hold your interest.
Eric Roberts and Anthony Edwards are to be commended for their passionate performances,but atempt to elicit sympathy for them demeans the horrible crime they committed. Sam Neill gamely plays the federal agent who tracks them down and there are some nice cameos from Bethel Leslie, Stella Stevens and Gwen Verdon. Kevin Tighe as Mr. Clutter, however, doesn't have the acting chops to carry off his role.
All in all, it's decently done but pales in comparison to its original source and is nowhere near as good as CAPOTE.
A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE..........2006-06-03
A remake of the 1967 film of the same name, which was a fairly faithful adaptation of Truman Capote's sensational non-fiction book, this version does not disappoint the viewer. Although it does not have the gritty, quasi-documentary feel of the black and white 1967 film, which starred Robert Blake and Scott Wilson in the two lead roles, it is compelling in its own right and a fairly faithful adaptation.
The film follows the path of two losers, Dick Hickock (Anthony Edwards) and Perry Smith (Eric Roberts), as they careen towards catastrophe for themselves and for the hapless Klutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, upon whom they have set their sights. The pathology inherent in these two protagonists is chilling. It is also scary to think that a simple twist of fate would join them all in the annals of true crime.
While Hickock was incarcerated, a fellow inmate, Floyd Wells, who at one time years ago had worked for Herbert Klutter, the patriarch of the Klutter family, told Hickock that Klutter was a wealthy farmer who kept a large store of cash in a safe in the house. Given many details of the family and their house, Hickock fantasizes of making a big score, courtesy of the Klutter family.
When Hickock is released, he hooks up with his friend, Perry Smith. Smith, initially the more sympathetic of the two protagonists, is an individual with obvious psychological problems, deeply rooted in his troubled childhood, while Hickock, who seemed to have had a relatively normal childhood, is a totally amoral con man with little empathy for others. Together, these two spell trouble.
As they begin their preparations for their supposed big heist, the viewer gets a dose of the pathological psyche of these two pathetic individuals. Clearly, Hickock is the leader, with the troubled Smith seemingly reluctant to go along with Hickock's plans. It is chilling to watch them as their preparations and actions take them ever closer to their moment of reckoning with the Klutter family.
The film also tells a parallel story, that of the all-American Klutter family. The viewer sees how they lived and what their modest lives were like just shortly before theirs were to violently intersect those of Smith and Hickock on November 14, 1959. It is this poignant glimpse into their lives just before their senseless slaughter by these two strangers that makes the film so heartbreaking. Were it not for a simple twist of fate, this family might have gone on to live their lives in relative obscurity.
When Smith and Hickock finally reach the home of the Klutters that fateful night, they simply walk in through their unlocked door. Sleeping in the family home were the Clutters and their two teenage children. It would prove to be an unforgettable night for all concerned. The rest of the film focuses on the subsequent actions of Hickock and Perry, as well as on the investigation of the murders, which investigation ultimately saw this motley pair brought to justice.
Anthony Edwards gives an impressive performance as the creepy, amoral, and immature Hickock. He plays him as a big talker pumped with self-importance, a flim-flam man who cons Perry into thinking that this score will set them up for life. Eric Roberts plays Perry Smith as a sympathetic and somewhat sensitive character, who, but for the cruel twists of fate, might have had another kind of life. His portrayal makes the revelations at the end all that more surprising.
This is a remarkably good made for television film that does not try to copy the original 1967 film but, instead, forges its own path. The direction is excellent, as are the performances of the entire cast. Those who enjoy the true crime genre will find this film to be well worth watching.
Movie Fan - Fan .......2006-05-22
Movie Fan - Fan is almost totally correct. It is not as good as the first one. Anthony Edwards is terrible. He should never had tried this roll. He did not carry it at all.

Customer Reviews:
Very Scottish.......2006-06-10
This is the story of a 60 year old crusty police detective in Scotland. The characters are very distinctive. Unfortunately, after 35 episodes the actor playing Taggart died and some episodes later the medical examiner was played by a less distinctive actor and the series was less entertaining with the remaining characters who were about 30 years old and not as eccentric.
The plots are extremely complex and convoluted. You have to have good people skills at remembering names and faces to figure things out. There is no summary at the end like Poirot gives. Engineering nerds like myself have to view several times to get the details.

Customer Reviews:
Very good horror movie.......2007-02-19
When I watched this movie I was totally captured by the way the story was told. I really liked this story and how it was told. This story is about when someone is so "totally" in love with someone, how far will they go. Even after death. It makes you stop and think about what you would do if you found your partner with someone else. I do recommend this movie to anyone that wants to see something close to real life but also taking it to the extreme.
Awesome horror/thriller!.......2005-08-30
I had a chance to see this film at a festival and was absolutely impressed by it. The characters are realistically portrayed, the tension is palpable, the film is beautifully shot on this spooky farm somewhere in the south. And the main character is the most likable and sympathetic serial killer you are likely to meet. All in all I would strongly advise people check this out if you want a tense supernatural thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time!
CHILLY RECEPTION.......2004-07-29
The credits for this film should tell you what kind of movie you're in for. Laurence Avenet-Bradley plays the doomed corpse and was also the cinematographer; Brian Avenet Bradley wrote and directed; John L. Altom plays John, the redneck and also is the horse wrangler and gaffer. Not that there's anything wrong in double dipping, but in this case, it shows.
While the direction is properly atmospheric at times, there's nothing new--you can see what's coming.
The movie opens with JM bashing his wife's head in with a baseball bat because he caught her with his best friend in bed. For some inexplicable reason, he wants to freeze her, hence the title. They've only been married for a year! Anyway, he puts her on ice and takes her to his sister's farm where their wedding took place. Boyfriend of course will follow later on. At the farm, JM puts his wife in a discarded freezer. He later meets John and his cousin Bud, and soon he encounters John's abused wife, Julie. John is the caretaker for the farm, but you know he's a slimeball. JM keeps having ghostly apparitions of his dead wife, and soon people start finding out what JM did, and so...no spoiler here.
Suffice to say, FREEZ'ER has the worst acting I've seen in some time. Barnes Walker III plays JM like a zombie, turning on his required emotions like a well worn faucet. Carrie Waldron as Julie is equally bad, reminiscent of a teenager in their first community theatre role; and John L. Altom is totally laughable in his role as John.
I'm all for indies, and have truly enjoyed some of them like ANGELS CREST and HOBBS END, but this movie is so bad it's funny, but not funny enough to recommend.
FREEZ'ER IS A GREAT MOVIE, WATCH IT!.......2002-11-02
First of all, I have to say that this is a Great Movie. It not only held my interest, but it had great thrilling action that keeps you on your toes and a great story, with the ability to grab those scary emotions. The acting was good, the cinematography excellent and the music wonderful. This is a movie that I have added to my video collection and that everyone should go and see. I have to say that some people have more bad luck. Buy and watch the movie you'll love it.
Thanks Brian for the great movie. Hope to see more in the future.
Information from DVD Back Cover: J.M. didn't mean to do it, but in one insane moment he killed his wife. The trouble is he is still in love with her.

Freezer Warms Up Its Audience.......2001-12-30
This is a thriller that won't leave you wilted and frustrated. Freezer features a strong cast, good sound and image quality developed from a tight script that is true to its characters. You could call this a low cost film; I prefer to call it priceless. I saw this film at a festival and am delighted to see it is out now on DVD. By the way, they actually call this film Freez'er. If you have seen it, you can figure out the title.

Picture quality - video grade
Sound -- terrible. Also to note, voices are DUBBED. The original language of this movie was not English. Sound effects were very jarring, not to mention irritating.
The pacing of the show was fair. Plot average but there are a few twists which would keep one interested. So overall, the only thing this DVD has going for it is Rutger Hauer.
Recommendation -- don't buy unless you are a hardcore RH fan.

I Only Wrote This Review For You, Johnny Thunders.......2006-11-24
JT, A little over 3 years & 3,000 tears ago, I mail ordered this dvd, paid
a little over $25 bucks for it & I A B S O L U T E L Y H A T E D I T !
Luckily, I did not throw it in the lake, but put it high on a shelf so my
children could not reach it until now. Today, ThanksGiving, my teenage
son, Gideon, found it, played it, watched it & loved it! JT, weren't you
the least bit religious? I am not though I have heard it said that a child
(small? young? I can't remember) shall mislead or lead & today I found
that to be true! Watching it with my teenage son, I WAS TRANSFIXED, fixed!
Well, you must know how I felt. I once was blind, but now I see...
I only wish the entire show had been made available & not just the 30 min.
version I got though it's alot to handle & more than enough to love! THANKS
from my heart to yours. "I'm sorry I didn't have much to say..." JT, R.I.P.
Wasted and looking awful, Thunders takes the stage........2005-10-15
Well, as a Johnny Thunders fan, I love this because live JT on video/DVD is a rarity. Unfortunately, JT is completely strung out, LITERALLY performing with his eyes rolled into the back of his head for 3/4 of this half-hour long DVD. This is for Die-Hard fans ONLY.
As another reviewer pointed out, this was obviously a direct video to DVD transfer. No chance that THIS was going to be "remastered!" The sound-mix is AWFUL. For example, during Pipeline the bass track is WAY in front, burying whatever JT was playing! That is his signature tune and we hear the BASS! The editing is crappy, but I have a feeling a good 1/2 hour of footage spared us seeing JT at his rock-bottom worst. As someone who LOVES his music, I don't wanna see that anyways.
JT had to lie down for a good five minutes...at least he continued singing, though. Walter Lure and the rock-steady bass player hold things together as best they can and the drummer does an admirable job (though he apparently never learned to end a song with a flourish...a few songs end with muted tip-taps).
That is my review. If you are reading this you will definitely want it, since the only people who would bother to THINK about purchasing In Cold Blood are Die Hards. You can find this regularly on ePay for less than $10, so happy viewing!
Depends on how you look at it.......2003-02-12
Well it's Johnny Thunders any way you look at it. The DVD production is pretty much the video pressed on a digital format (you didn't honestly think anyone would put any real cash into this, did you?). But it's not awful. It's rare to have any live video footage of this band so I would have to say it's worth buying. It's short, sweet and Thunders close to his worst. It will make you wish he was captured on video on better days.
warning.......2002-11-25
first of all i consider my self a johnny thunders fan.i have many of his cds and videos/dvds.may he rest in peace.the only reason this dvd should have been released would be to warn people of the danger of using drugs.mr.thunders in his prime was one of the greats!but this concert shows him at one of his lowest points.he can't play guitar.he can't remember the words or sing.he can hardly stand up.unlike on dead or alive it looks like they give it to you like it was, no overdubs.which is what i hated about dead or alive cause there are parts when he is sitting down and isnt even holding the guitar but his parts are still playing.in this video he cant even keep his guitar strapped on but you can hear the slop that is coming out.walter and the rest of the band look like they want to hide.i (think)johnny prided himself on the image..and pulled it off for a long time but in my opinion this is a rip off of his fans..its plain painful to watch..johnny i still luv ya...with that said im putting my copy up for sale..
Rock and Roll Distilled.......2002-04-11
This first aired on the USA network in 1982, as many of you with long since worn tapes can attest. Herein we find Johnny Thunders and Walter Lure again reunited, slapping and slamming and slurring their way through a first-rate set featuring "In Cold Blood," "Pipeline," Alone in a Crowd," and "Born to Lose," among others. Being Johnny, he is not without his troubles: his guitar strap refuses to be stayed, his shirt rips, his sleeve catches in the strings, his boots are falling apart, the song "I Love You" blows up. And yet.... And yet it's a great set, much better than the "Dead or Alive" DVD. This is worth it. The only drawback is the length; thirty minutes is too short--but for the price it's a bargain.
