Reviewing the best (and worst) of horror, sci-fi and fantasy since 2000


Feb 28
Fear in the Night (1972)
One of Hammer's attempts to venture out into thrillers is an admirable if flawed side project from their Gothic classics.


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!


Sep 1, 2024
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.


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


Jan 6, 2024
Creatures the World Forgot (1971)
Hammer's final prehistoric outing is their worst - and despite the title, there's no dinosaurs!


Aug 26, 2023
Vampire Circus (1972)
Late Hammer horror which is one of their strongest vampire films, if not one of their best overall.


Aug 22, 2023
Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971)
Hammer's final mummy film doesn't feature a bandage-wearing monster.


Aug 22, 2023
The Mummy's Shroud (1967)
Beware the beat of the cloth-wrapped feet in Hammer's third mummy movie.
