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.

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 (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.

House of the Long Shadows (1983)

The Expendables of horror, this well-intentioned horror film unites four legendary horror stars on-screen together for the first time.

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.

Arabian Adventure (1979)

Feeble fantasy from Amicus with flying carpets, evil genies and a load of British actors pretending to be Arabian.

Asylum (1972)

Old school horror anthology fun from the masters of the portmanteau, Amicus.

The Beast Must Die (1974)

Eight people have been invited to an island estate for the weekend. One of them is a werewolf. Can you guess which one?
