The Trollenberg Terror (1958)
Giant eyeballs terrorise the Alps in this so-so British sci-fi chiller.


Oct 19, 2024
Countess Dracula (1971)
Middling Hammer horror notable for being one of iconic starlet Ingrid Pitt's two leading roles for the studio. She left an impression!

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)
One of the best films Hammer ever made, this is the Anglo-horror cycle at its bleakest and finest.


Sep 1, 2024
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)
Widely considered one of the better films in the Hammer catalogue, this sequel sees the improbable return of Cushing's Frankenstein.


Aug 29, 2024
The Body Stealers (1969)
Talky and dull sci-fi is one of the worst to come out of Britan in the 1960s.


May 31, 2024
The Gorgon (1964)
Solid mid-60s effort from Hammer is one of their best standalone horror films.


May 30, 2024

Can an alien invasion be stopped by the legendary pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee?

The Beast in the Cellar (1971)
Talky and overly dull British horror with the novelty factor of seeing a pair of well-known actresses ham it up in a horror.


Feb 19, 2024
Horrors of the Black Museum (1959)
Campy British chiller from 1959 starring Michael Gough and with some maliciously macabre set pieces.
