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

Legend of the Werewolf (1975)

Horror had moved on by 1975. Tyburn Film Productions with Legend of the Werewolf had not and were still stuck in the early 60s.

The Ghoul (1975)

Late lacklustre British horror offering which was about twenty years too late in terms of what the genre had transformed into by this point.

Lesbian Vampire Killers (2009)

So-so British comedy horror which wants to be the next Shaun of the Dead and relies on its name and novelty value to see it through.

The Flesh & The Fiends (1960)

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

World War Dead: Rise of the Fallen (2015)

Found footage horror featuring zombified First World War German soldiers and darkness, lots of darkness.

Vampire Circus (1972)

Late Hammer horror which is one of their strongest vampire films, if not one of their best overall.

Blood from the Mummy's Tomb (1971)

Hammer's final mummy film doesn't feature a bandage-wearing monster.

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.
