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


Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972)
Dracula meets Austin Powers in ludicrously dated Hammer horror which moved its classic Gothic tale into an era of go-go boots, funky music and flannel shirts.
Aug 4


Twins of Evil (1971)
Playboy playmates as twins who are corrupted by vampires and only cruel and malicious Peter Cushing's puritan can save them! Top notch 70s Hammer.
Aug 2


The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974)
Vampires and martial arts cross paths in this bizarre but entertaining attempt by Hammer to cash in on the kung fu boom of the 70s.
Aug 2


Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)
Fifth instalment in Hammer's Dracula series is argubaly the most routine of the lot.
Aug 2


The Trollenberg Terror (1958)
Giant eyeballs terrorise the Alps in this so-so British sci-fi chiller.
Oct 29, 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!
Oct 19, 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.
Sep 1, 2024


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