A forgotten horror anthology series written by Nigel Kneale (The Quartermass Experiment) and aired on British TV in the mid-seventies.

Self-billed as "Fellini and Argento with a dash of Kubrick", it's hard to believe that this gory horror-fest boasts a dash of anything--the visual effects hit like a sledgehammer. Set in a decrepit, futuristic hospital populated by all kinds of grotesque characters, the film follows the efforts of a young female doctor (Peta Lily) to uncover the identity of her father's murderer and escape the psychotic nightmare that she's trapped in. "A brutal, seedy, eccentric film... Compelling viewing" (Time Out). Robert Golden---Great Britain---1994---108 mins.

One of the more underrated and effective horror films of its era, this Hammer production seemed to have its own curse on the set. First, Peter Cushing had to bow out of the film following the death of his wife. Then, director Seth Holt died from a heart attack and Michael Carreras had to complete the final week's shooting. Despite these tragic problems, the film is an assured creature feature. Based on Bram Stoker's Jewel of the Seven Stars, the story follows an ancient Egyptian sorceress who takes possession of a modern girl. The same tale was the basis of the 1980 feature, The Awakening. Seth Holt/Michael Carreras---Great Britain---1971---94 mins.

A double-feature of two horror cheapies, as they originally played on the drive-in circuit. The ad promised "Two shiver and shudder spine tinglers! See the terror! Feel the shock! Live the horror!" In Bloodsuckers (Robert Hartford-Davis, Great Britain, 1972), also known as Incense for the Damned and Doctors Wear Scarlet, Peter Cushing and Patrick Macnee star in a psychedelic-tinged tale of a vampire cult in Greece. And then it's time to get really schlocky with Blood Thirst (Newt Arnold, USA/Philippines, 1971), a warped little clunker (originally shot in 1965, not released until '71), about a sex crimes expert on the case in Manila who falls prey to the eternal, supernatural force of the "Golden Goddess"...or something Robert Hartford-Davis/Newt Arnold---Great Britain/USA-Philippines---1971-72 ---164 mins.

We'll watch anything starring Simon Pegg, and almost anything directed by John Landis. This black comedy kills two birds with one stone. Set in 1828 Edinburgh, Pegg and Andy Serkis play Burke & Hare, two men of ill-repute who hit pay dirt when they realize they can sell fresh cadavers to Tom Wilkinson's medical school. But instead of simply waiting for sick blokes to die, Burke and Hare begin hastening the process. "Unapologetically old-fashioned...Crafting a satisfying comedy celebrating two notorious serial killers certainly qualifies as a writing challenge, so credit goes to co-scripters Piers Ashworth and Nick Moorcroft for devising credibly sympathetic protagonists" (Variety). From the writers of St. Trinian's. Featuring Isla Fisher and Jessica Hynes as love interests, and Tim Curry as a doctor, doctor.
