Reviewing the best (and worst) of horror, sci-fi and fantasy since 2000
Night of the Big Heat (1967)
Can an alien invasion be stopped by the legendary pairing of Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee?

Gamera: The Giant Monster (1965)
Middling attempt to create a rival to Godzilla, which was successful enough to spawn a whole franchise. This is not great however!

Ebirah, Horror of the Deep (1966)
Godzilla battles the giant crustacean Ebirah and a terrorist organisation called the Red Bamboo in one of the series' weakest films.

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.
Aug 22, 2023
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.
Aug 21, 2023
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!
