Amazon.co.uk Review
IUrban Gothic/I is an interesting and original horror short story anthology format, uniting standard horror material with contemporary urban London settings. Writer Tom De Ville has a good ear for streetwise chatter, and a reasonably acute sense of class and ethnic difference: those of his pieces which are essentially character-driven tend to be more successful than those which depend rather more on sensation and plot device. The London locations and young cast combine to make something surprisingly creepy. Highlights include the opening episode, "Deadmeat", in which a group of sensation-seeking young people, on the run from drug dealers and sexually rapacious employers, find a corpse with a look of horror on its face and decide to experiment with necromancy. In the fly-on-the wall documentary parody "Vampirology" a film crew follows a vampire on his nightly round of drinks with yuppie friends, before devouring a lost tourist. Keith-Lee Castle's portrait of a lost soul is remarkable, and the guest appearance of Ingrid Pitt, every vampire's favourite starlet, is hilarious. --IRoz Kaveney/I

 Give it chance August 3, 2004
I don't know why I chose to bye this DVD, it doesn't look that exiting. But something drew me to it, and I'm glad it did! I fell in love with the series and subsequently purchased the second series. Granted some episodes are a little "Blue Peter", however for me at least the remaining episodes provide a rear glimpse of the twisted horror that seems to be lacking lately. Unlike most anthology series, urban gothic has a unique approach by overlapping some episodes and tying the whole story together. In series one the final episode "13" shows us why all the bizarre and weird things are happening. Trust me when I say that even if you loathe the first episode you are guaranteed to love the others, "Pineapple Chunks" is un-missable! Once you're hooked you'll love this second rate sometimes spoofy take on sick twisted horror.
 Well acted and very well written November 24, 2001

Urban Gothic is a very well written British Tv anthology series. I found this video very good as the show is on so late. The episodes are always odd and quite disturbing but have many hidden jokes although Pineapple Chunks is more of a comedy episode. The episodes that I would reccomend as the best to start off with are Old Nick, Pineapple chunks and Lacuna. All these are mostly based around true to life horrors, the thought of an abusive father coming back, drugs and murder. The music matches the sort of show it is and brings the credits to life. I wouldn't reccomend this video to people who are easily disturbed but to anyone who likes Urban Gothic it is a great buy and saves getting the other videos with only three of the episodes on. The complete collection I think is pretty good for the money and is perfect for gifts or for yourself. Buy this and you won't regret it!
