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

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.

The Mummy (1959)

The last of Hammer's initial "big three" horrors isn't as strong as the other two but is still a damned fine example of British horror.

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.

When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970)

Caveman film with limited dialogue but plenty of dino action and top-heavy women to keep the interest levels high.

Quatermass II (1957)

Sequel with Professor Quatermass uncovering an alien conspiracy which could end the world. Top quality sci-fi from the 50s.
