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

The Flesh & The Fiends (1960)

Fantastically underrated retelling of the Burke and Hare murders with star turns from Peter Cushing and Donald Pleasance.

The Mummy's Shroud (1967)

Beware the beat of the cloth-wrapped feet in Hammer's third mummy movie.

The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964)

Hammer made virtually a remake of The Mummy, only without any of the things that made one that such a classic.

The Curse of the Werewolf (1961)

Hammer's sole venture in werewolf territory is only saved by a brilliant debut performance by Oliver Reed.

One Million Years B.C. (1966)

Hammer. Stop motion effects by Ray Harryhausen. Raquel Welch in THAT bikini. Happy days.

The Earth Dies Screaming (1964)

Robots invade the Earth in 60s British sci-fi. I remember this one vividly from my childhood!

The Navy Vs The Night Monsters (1966)

Carnivorous trees start snacking on the sailors stationed at a small US naval base in daft 60s sci-fi cheapie.

Circus of Horrors (1960)

Disgraced plastic surgeon takes over a run-down circus to continue his illegal work in excellent early 60s psychological horror-thriller.

The Blood Beast Terror (1968)

A giant killer moth is drinking the blood of young men in a village and only Peter Cushing can stop it in dire 60s British horror.
