  • Creeeepy version

    

  • OMG I clicked in this just to see a different end to the 2007 version! and look what a bad taste has this one!! indeed seemed like a bad vampire porn movie! and mr Tilney... no comparison to the 2007.

    by the way... Catherine looks like one of those crazy eyed dolls you throw into the closet at night. :P

  • next time on the red shoe diaries....

  • Hey! I actually liked this movie! But all your comments are so spot on, it's making me choke with laughter!

  • CREEPY!the little kid was probably like what the hell

  • catherine, are you still a disgrace to your sex?

    HAHAHAHA

  • FREAKING HILARIOUS!!

  • That was kinda sexy: It had Mr Tilney entering bouncing on a horse, the fog, the whispering voices, ugly toad eyed Catherine and an ugly little child.

  • @sircharles2012 awesome.

  • That was scary

  • music is bad.music can change everythink.

  • What the hell did I just watch??

  • An innitial reaction to this can be to think it's over the top and even laughable. But we can appreciate it more on a few other considerations:

    -the adaptation is focused on Catherines naiveity,

    -her time spent in her head with fantasies and scenes from romance horror novels she's read,

    -her artless frankness.

    This all collides at the peak of the 80s where ambient music was at it's most vulgar, emotions, hair and shoulder pads least censered.

  • are you still a disgrace to your sex?

    HAHAHAHAHA

  • LOOLL!! HAHA one of the funniest things i've ever seen!! LOL:')

  • "Catherine. Are you still a disgrace to your sex?"

    "Does your face express all that your heart feels, or may i hope that it holds a secret?"

    If so, THEN TRY OUR NEW PRODUCT FOR ONLY 19.99!!! IT WILL WIPE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS AWAY!!!

  • @hyacinthdibley hahahahahahaha! Good one! lmao!

  • @bocatsmom Why thank you very much. I try. hehe

  • @hyacinthdibley I don't like the tone of this Mr. Tilney. A disgrace? She made a mistake but it isn't something that would disgrace woman kind. I watched the version with JJ Fields first. This is a shadow of that one. This one is painful in comparison. I can't find my book but does he really say, "disgrace?" A disgrace in those times would a girl getting pregnant before marriage but hardly a condemnation of all of woman kind for her innocent error. I don't like this Mr. Tilney.

  • @Songsmirth Yes. I think he did say 'disgrace'. I think we will both agree that this Tilney dude is a complete 'something'hole. He better watch his tongue or else, lol.

    Anyway, I prefer Fields' better. I watched it first and it's a lot better in my opinion.

    -the guy looks better

    -the guy is better mannered

    -the guy does not give 'creepy' looks.

    Need i go on?

    I'm glad the second was the better one because it would have been quite a disgrace if this version came out second.

  • @hyacinthdibley I do understand your reaction to this, but I do think the writers through the use of 'disgrace'  are meant in reference to Catherine being frank and open, whichwould be frowned upon as indiscrete or impolite in that period where it was more acceptable for women to be coy and reserved. Her frankness is why she is an attractive character.

  • LMAO this is so bad!!

  • creepy..

  • I felt llike if thios went on a bit longer i would step into Tom Cruise's movie legend ;-)

  • It starts out like the Flake ™ ad, ends like a porno, all with an Art of Noise soundtrack. Slightly obsessed, I am.

  • I think my favorite is how the porn-drums begin as he rides mysteriously from the fog and tells her not to be afraid.

  • @0lotr1freak2 porn drums!!! lmao

  • does anyone know where i can find the music for this? i absolutly love the errie sound, but i can't find a soundtrack any where!!!! HELP!!!!!!

  • lmao at this crap. Anyone who prefers this to the new version is a crackhead.

    Tilney: bla blah blah white rose bushes blah blah disgrace blah

    Catherine: O_O .....

  • @muddphudle I cracked up at the "blah blah blah 'white rose bushes' blah blah"

    His questions to her sounded like the beginning of a commercial.

  • The music here definitely porno. Hen heh hen!

  • I like both versions, but in this one, in this final scene I think that Catherine is feeling a bit horny

  • I think the director may have gone for a gothic look but all I could think was, 'Oh my goodness, it's Harry!' LOL!

  • HER EYES are spooky. :O

  • It's Harry from Spooks!

  • Except for the hair and costumes, which I always felt had a late seventies look to it (and not very authentic to Jane Austen era), I liked this version of Northanger Abbey better than the newer version. All the characters of this version are very vivid in my mind whereas I've already forgotten most of the supporting cast and most of what Mr. Tilney & Catherine said in the new version. In this older version, they had many discussions b/n Tilney & Catherine that were very interesting to follow.

  • hahahahahaha it's soft porn!!!! Emmanuelle of Northenger Abbey

  • @minnie110 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah :°D

  • I don't get how this is considered in any way to be like porn as a recall from the new version a particular bedroom scene was very much a suggestion of porn.

  • Thank you i had this on video but no longer have'nt seen it ages. Thank you.

  • These people are excellent for a Wuthering Heights!

  • omg, i read the reviews before hand . this is so 80 and pornish. the new version is cute and sweet. this is so wierd.

  • omg, i read the reviews before hand . this is so 80 and pornish.

  • ok this was not a good version I thought it was some sort of vampire/ jane austin movie I did have a good laugh though

  • ehh i don't like the hair. xD

  • lady gaga eyes :D

  • Well.. sorry but I dont have the same opinion.. I love this scene and this adaptation is way better than the 2007's movie. When I saw this BBC serie I went straigth to the book store and bougth the book!

    In the 2007 adaptation the performances of the actors are terrible and not credible. And I think that we cant forget how many years this has...its a long way to 2010... Nevertheless the BBc serie captures perfectly the gothic essence of the book, compare to the 2007 film... Love it!

  • Im glad im not the only one who had a good laugh. I could see this as soft core porn horror movie, but porn would have better scenes.

  • Wow her eyes are huge...

  • Haha, epically bad! I love it! The 2007 version is WAY better. Haha, how terrible!

  • HAHAHAHAHA this is hilarious

  • Yes, this version seems very cheezy to us now, but it's just a culture shock between the 1980s and 2000s...lol After I saw the new version, I loved it so much that I started reading the book. This movie would not have made me want to read it :)

  • catherine is scary... her eyes are even more scary....

  • Catherine is attractive I think. Love the intensity of the scene. The music, gothic setting, everything!!

  • Actually Peter Firth did fine, considering the awful music, the ugly actress, the stupid gothic scenes (that I have to fast forward because it makes me cringe). BUT, would Henry Tilney really kiss Catherine without officially asking her to marry him (in that time period)? Isn't that a bit scandalous?

  • Did anyone notice her crying at 1:44? I mean, I don't really blame her. This is awful, I would cry, too.

  • This is really horrible, what the hell is that music?? And the make up. Fuchi!!!!

  • ooooo he is damn fine ;-) woooo Harry Pearce :-D

  • lol her face @1:00 is like 'WTF?'

  • this is so creepy.

    and there's someone named "Googie" in it.

  • 1:11

    it holds a terrifying and creepy secret.

  • does your face express all that your heart feels or may i hope that it holds a secret?

  • hahah this looks like a 70s porno, especially at the beginning.

  • This is just ridiculous. Northanger Abbey's supposed to be a satire of gothic novels, not a gothic novel itself. The music's terrible, the acting's sub-par, and this kiss is just scary. Look at her nostrils!

  • oh gosh both of them are ugly.

    especially catherine.

    its funny actually. and the white rose bush ....hahaha:D

  • The most bazaar adaptation ever filmed of the Jane Austin novel! This could only have been produced during the 1980's. It's possible the producers were attempting a new contemporary 1980's twist (using the female lead, who IS very masculine looking; as transgender or gay character) which is absolutely hilarious! The dry ice rising as the two make-out with the "studio music" in the background - seems more like an early music video. Public taste does change but Jane Austin is ageless

  • Not a fan of this adaptation. The music is very strange (totally unfitting for a Jane Austen story), the acting is sub-par, and the actors weren't even all that good-looking. Is it me or does Catherine almost look like a man? Her profile and all are very masculine. If I didn't know she was a female and only saw therface, I could definitely mistake her for a man.

  • This adaptation is absolutely hilarious! Oh the 80s...That being said, I think the woman playing Catherine does a fair job, all things considered. I think it's the editing and music that really puts me off, but still, it's worth a watch. And a part of me approves of the gothic ending to this version as it fits the cheesiness of the whole thing.

  • Oh my goodness. If anyone were to come across this clip not knowing what it was they would think it was a 1980's music video instead of a Jane Austen classic.

  • "Since you left the white rose bush has died of grieve". Yeah, that sounds exactly like something Mr. Tilney would say! :)

  • Shit...

  • I have to say that this is the most ridiculous version of ANY Jan Austen film that I have ever seen. The acting is poor, the characters are very strange looking and the music is just dumb. Plus some of the scenes in this movie ugh!! Newer version of this movie is millions of times better!

  • wierdddd and so 80's, lol

  • She looks like a demon.

  • Yes, she SO does.

  • I haven't seen this adaptation, but I'm intrigued... I, for one, love the music and that was a very sweet, very sensual kiss.

  • Her Hair ù_ù

  • no words, deeply diturbed and more than a little freaked out

  • omg the music sucked and the movie was even worse!

  • hahaha that was aweful! New version is WAY better!! This almost looked like it was gonna turn into a bad porno.

  • @xXxRANDOMxxAMANDAxXx hahahaha so true! I nearly pissed myself, I was laughing so hard... and then the kid comes in. What a terrible porno it would have been: they are both so hideous!

  • @xXxRANDOMxxAMANDAxXx aweful indeed! I'm surprised it's a BBC production

  • one of the funniest things ever

  • the newer version is 100x better!

  • that was possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen!!!!!! I was just about rolling on the floor laughing!!!

  • Okay, what's with that creepy stare she has?

  • what the heck is this?...LOL....is sooo creepy!!!!! LOL I can't stop laughing!

    the Girl looks like she just came out of a horror movie! LOL

  • hahahahahahahahahaha I could not stop laughing...

    it is so weird scary that it's funny.... xD

    and.. I would cry too if I had to marry a man like that, but not because of happiness.

  • errgh! how creepy was that!!

  • HAHAHA this is AWESOME.

    what is this 80s romance music in the background??

    so weird.

  • I love Regency era porn! It's my favorite!

  • DUDE!!! XD That was funny, in it's strange 80's music and random sexiness XD

  • Dated as it is, I still have fond memories of this production, my introduction to "Northanger Abbey."

  • BAHAHAHA!! Wtf?? SO 80's.

  • oh my gosh.....um....this actually creeped me out lol

  • Wow. I have...no words for this. The music, the direction--this is hilarious. And awesome. And sorta hot.

  • after this kis she looks like after a vampire bite!

  • the rose bushes died of grief? laughed myself silly about that line!!! ;o) so very dramatic!

  • LOL I love this movie...its just crazy enough to meet my idea of a good movie! LOL! I really want to see the new one as well :-) I finished the book a few days ago

  • Hahaha...OMG!! There are no words....what the hell??

  • I mean no disrespect but the music is nothing if not XXX.

  • haaaahaaaa what funny drugs the producers have been on? anyway thanx for uploading

  • this is soooooooo 80s. hahahaha

  • I definitely preffer JJ Field and Felicity Jones this doesnt look innocent at all they look like if they have been interrupeted when they were about to have sex by that kid I think the new version is sooooooooooo much better

    but of course that is just my opinion

  • J.J. Field and Felicity Jones are better

  • what were they thinking!!!!!!

  • What sort of drugs were the film makers on? My goodness, how ridiculous! Hahah

  • I just threw up......this is awful!!

  • OMG! LMAO!

  • OMG .THE MUSIC.

  • THANK YOU.

    I feel as though I've run into an unnecessary sex scene in a JANE AUSTEN story. Seriously.

  • urghhh....

  • oh god...this so bad...i'm loling so much right now...ugh, horrible adaptation...

  • LOL!!! oh my god... she looked like a vampire... creepy and scary... hahahhaha

  • The only good thing about this film is having Peter Firth - young and sexy in it.

  • very disturbing. It's like they were forced.

  • it looks like some creepy 80's music video..eek!

  • O my god I have to agree this was really creepy & disturbing. She looks STONED & its yuck the way she opens her eyes & stares at him when he is kissing her! The music was SOOOOO inappropriate. TERRIBLE

  • (0_0) LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • LOLLL wtf!

  • this is one ugly version !!!! poor Jane Austen what have they done with her novel !!!!

  • wow... the 80's were scary

  • the way he says her name "Catherine"  SCARY!!!!!!

  • Hahahahhahaha

  • that biatchhhh got no sleep...you see the rings under her eyes...???and the music???good lord...i mean i love movies from the 80's but that poodle do just aint working....

    thank god for the new and updated version...and thank god for make up artists....

  • this is seriously disturbing. she looks like a poodle and i agree with the porno music. wow.

  • I am convinced that whoever wrote this script utterly missed the point of the novel!

  • I am tempted to blame the 80s for this monstrosity, but I am sure that no one will buy it.

    Even MORE shockingly, the votes show 3.5/5 stars for the video. Who are these people?!?!

  • Good Lord, I think they just killed Northanger Abbey. Jane Austen would be rolling in her grave....

  • If I didn't know what I was looking at, I would think this was the end to a horror film...Wow, that's all I can say...

  • she looks like a boy in woman's clothes!!!

  • 2007 beats this one easily. This one stinks!!

  • um. . . do you have to be stoned to like this scene? i mean what the fuck is going on with the total 80s look and new wave porno music?

  • LOL, I almost shited on myself. I can't stand looking at her. I know I souldn't talk about people, but Lord, she very unattractive!!!

  • totally agree about the music the fisrt thing that to my mind and does she cry during the kiss i saw a tear

  • Ho-ly shit! This is like a bad New Wave Pop Group video from the 80's! WTF is that "the white rose bushes died of grief ... blah blah blah" shit??????

  • This was disturbing...

  • uh... this ending is hmm.. creepy.

    She has too huge eyes! and this music... its good, but not in this situation ;D

  • LOL if she didn't have the mullet plus corny porno music this would be so much better...

  • Wow...that was actually good I think...it was really dreamy and intense...I mean yeah it's a bit dated but still...Wow...

  • seriously .....this suucks

  • I'm not gonna cange my mind cuz you gave me some three word reply. Go bore someone else.

  • if u like this crap i doubt u can be bored

  • If you can't just grow up and except that not all of us think like you then we'll all be much better off.

  • i could say the same to u

  • "I promise not to oppress you with too much remorse and too much passion. But, since you left us, the white rose bushes died with grief." Now, romantic, emotionally charged line like that, coupled with the 80's-esuqe music would have me swooning right there. Who on earth got paid to do this Austen butcher job...?!

  • What did they do to Mr. Tilney?!!

  • WTF is this shit? Jane Austen had to have been rolling in her grave.

  • I agree with you, this was too weird to watch.

  • Their scaring me!!!

  • what happened? they incorporated too much 80s into this!

  • Hah, gotta love that music.

  • Do not be afraid... wait... what?!

  • don't be afraid meaning don't be afriad it's only me

  • lol shes got a mullet
