jazzyjase Review of Shadows in an Empty Room

Shadows in an Empty Room (1976)

I remember that there was a good car chase sequence.

[6/10 · 25 January 2008]

This movie was broadcast on TV in the UK sometime during the mid 80's under the title of "Blazing Magnum". I was a very young teenager at the time and recorded it onto good old fashioned VHS (probably because it was on too late for me to watch). I watched it at least a dozen times over a couple of years and it was still on tape until my parents parted and my stepfather took all the tapes as part of the divorce. I always wished I could have got that tape back (among others), as this movie has never been shown on TV since. I really enjoyed it at the time because I didn't really watch a lot of movies. I seem to remember that it was filmed in a similar way to the Dirty Harry films, which my stepfather and I enjoyed together and this was probably why I found it appealing. I think it should be released on some format as there are actually a few well known(ish) actors in this movie. It has been thirty years, after all.
