"The Indian Epic is a sweeping, visually rich adventure that feels grand in both scale and storytelling. Fritz Lang brings a sense of precision and atmosphere, blending romance, intrigue, and spectacle in a way that feels classic and immersive. It’s a bit old-school in its pacing, but the lush visuals and epic scope make it a rewarding watch."
"The scenery amd stunning Debra Paget keeps your interest. Be aware this is back in the day when whitw actors would play other races in brown face ans it’s jarring. The prince is a jerk but at least seems to have some layers ans they try to explain him a bit. The male hero is a douchbag who pushes his way into a temple and is very much disrespectful of the culture. the hero actor is also dull as a wet sock. Still I did like it. Also if you like big boobed statues this is the movie for you."
"A favorite of mine I have not seen in decades. Great artwork on this 2 disc release, including a booklet. I’ve never seen the film look better. Only criticism, would have been nice to see this release upgraded to 4K versus older Film Movement release."
"Debra Paget. . . my God what a beauty. I have no idea why she isn't a legendary beauty like a Marilyn Monroe or Brigitte Bardot. We get to see her do alot of dancing which I'm totally fine with. A great double feature directed by the great Fritz Lang and they are both so pulpy and action packed. Gorgeous colors too. So happy to finally get a chance to watch this one. Way underrated both of them. Great release by Film Movement."
"Great looking films but not really my kind of thing. Slipcover looks great!"
"Two Fritz Lang favourites collected on one release, very cool! The movies look and sound incredible and the packaging is stellar."
"As a Fritz Lang fan this was a must buy. The slip cover is gorgeous and the transfer looks just as nice. FMC delivers again with this fine double feature."
"Film Movement Classics has been doing a great job restoring and releasing some great obscure gems. This collection goes deep into their catalog. Here they release the original full length jungle epics made by Fritz Lang after he returned to Germany. These are a lot of fun and are very reminiscent of the Indiana Jones films that would be released over 20 some odd years later. The restorations look incredible. Film Movement did an incredible job. The set comes with a great documentary, a fun video essay and a great commentary. The OCN slipcover is gorgeous too. For sure check this one out."
"Both movies together make up one story, that hinges on the captivating power of Debra Paget’s dancing. She succeeds. The sets and locations in this film are also amazing and beautifully shot. Well worth a watch."
"The Tiger of Eschnapur and The Indian Tomb—often bundled as Fritz Lang’s Indian Epic—are the kind of films where the home video conversation almost rivals the movies themselves. People usually talk about the features: restorations, extras, and how well the set presents Lang’s late-career spectacle. On a double bill, they play beautifully—designed as one continuous adventure, full of pulpy intrigue, ritual, and visual grandeur. The pacing is deliberate but purposeful, building a sense of scale that pays off across both halves. The track matters too. A strong audio presentation brings out the score’s sweep and the film’s sense of exoticized danger, which is central to the experience. Not Lang at his most psychologically complex, but as a lush, escapist epic—and especially as a curated release—it’s easy to recommend."
