'An admirable script and dialogue, in a way only the British could ever achieve in second-feature quality material. To watch time and time again' Rated 7.8 on IMDB.com



'Suspenseful feature with gloss and pace' Halliwell



'Gordon (Derren ?) Nesbitt and Ann Lynn perform smartly' Radio Times.

A nice one, a shame they didn't package it with Man in the Back Seat.

It's a great film .... I can't recommend this film highly enough, an absolute gem of British B-movie film-making.

Watched it recently, very good indeed. Thanks for the news, been waiting for this to be released it should have surfaced a while ago but was delayed I think.

I've just pre-ordered my copy from HMV Online at £5:99 post free. I had a look at it on amazon uk, but there's isn't yet priced, which is a bit odd. So I chose HMV.

That's owned by Studio Canal, so if it does come to UK DVD it will be via Optimum.

My DVD of Strongroom arrived this morning and I've just finished watching it. A damn good second feature, very well acted and directed. Picture and sound quality are very good. It may have been shot at 1.66:1, but is slightly zoomed in to full screen 4 x 3.

I forgot to add the following: Contains a four page glossy booklet (one sheet folded over) with detailed and very interesting information about the cast and the making of the film. There are no extras, except a scene selection and a number of excerpts (not the original trailers) from other DVD's of films released on the Odeon label. On the reverse of the DVD insert card is a reproduction of an original poster for Strongroom.
