She (1965)
Jul 31, 2001Lost City/Immortal Queen/Hammer Film
Hammer Films conduct an adaptation of the classic H. Rider Haggard adventure story about the discovery of a lost city and its immortal queen but the epic spectacle never much comes to life
Seven Arts
Dracula – Prince of Darkness (1966)
Jul 18, 2000Hammer Dracula Film
The third of Hammer's Dracula films. Christopher Lee returns to the role but is given no dialogue. Nevertheless, Terence Fisher delivers some vivid directorial set-pieces that make this one of the better sequels in the series
The Plague of the Zombies (1966)
Mar 7, 2009Hammer Zombie Film
Classic Hammer film, vividly made and rich in subtext, concerning aristocrats turning the peasantry into zombies to work in the mines
Rasputin The Mad Monk (1966)
Apr 21, 2008Hammer Historical Horror Film
Hammer Films turn the historical story of Rasputin and his influence over the Russian throne into a horror film. Although they treat history liberally, this is a vivid film with an intense performance from Christopher Lee
The Reptile (1966)
Jan 1, 2000Hammer Film/Human-Snake Transformation
Classic Hammer film in which Jacqueline Pearce turns into a snake creature. This seems to have been conceived as one of Hammer's Dracula films but with snakes. It is given more than reasonable atmosphere by director John Gilling
The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966)
Jan 8, 2001Super-Villain
The second film with Christopher Lee as the Chinese super-villain Fu Manchu. Not quite up with its predecessor The Face of Fu Manchu but still an exciting blend of pulp melodrama, super-science and Yellow Peril
Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)
Nov 21, 2000Hammer Frankenstein Film
The fourth of Hammer's Frankenstein films and the most conceptually wild with Frankenstein conducting soul transplants, including transferring his assistant's soul into a woman's body
Camelot (1967)
Mar 27, 2001Arthurian Legends Musical
The Arthurian legends become the basis of this filmed version of a musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe. On screen with a name cast, the film is slow and stodgy
Slave Girls (1967)
Mar 12, 2013Prehistoric Women-Ruled World/Hammer Film
One of a handful of prehistoric adventure films made by Hammer Studios. This eschews the stop-motion animated dinosaurs of their earlier One Million Years B.C. but does give the stage to Martine Beswick who injects a sizzling dose of sexuality and camps a silly plot up by playing to the hilt
Quatermass and the Pit (1967)
Feb 26, 2003Alien Artefact
The third and in the opinion of many the best of Hammer’s Quatermass films in which Nigel Kneale introduces a conceptually wild array of ideas about Martians, race memory, psychic powers and The Devil
Finian’s Rainbow (1968)
Aug 17, 2002Leprechaun Musical
One of Francis Ford Coppola's earliest films as director, a musical where Fred Astaire procures a pot of gold and makes a deal with a leprechaun
The Lost Continent (1968)
Jun 18, 2015Sargasso Sea of Lost Ships
An oddity from Hammer Films - a colourfully interesting lost world film set in the Sargasso Sea filled with trapped ships from all eras and cheesy monster. More dramatically interesting in the build-up than when we arrive
The Devil Rides Out (1968)
Jan 11, 2003Satanism/Hammer Film
One of the classic works from Hammer Films and Terence Fisher, often regarded as one of their finest moments. In this adaptation of a Dennis Wheatley novel, Christopher Lee (in a rare heroic role) fights Satanists
Moon Zero Two (1969)
May 6, 2002Lunar Adventures
Muchly ridiculed Hammer film that was billed as a ‘Space Western’. Once one gets past that it is actually a far more interesting film than it suggests
