Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis Schwartz"This one is a must see for horror film fans."
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) - 9/10 by Bob BloomA film that goes in more for shock than horror.
Monthly Film Bulletin - 4/10 by MFB CriticsFor all its contemporary setting, the plot of this lurid melodrama relies almost entirely on hackneyed Gothic paraphernalia.
User Review - 8/10 by Michael TDirected by Arthur Crabtree (Madonna of the Seven Moons (1945) and Fiend Without a Face (1958)), this is a creepy and unsettling horror film cut from similar cloth to what Hammer was doing at the time, (this was done by Anglo-Amalgamated), but it has a good cast in it, and some good scares for it's day, it manages to be quite effective. It's primarily about crippled writer Edmond Bancroft (Michael Gough) assisting the police in their enquiries about murders taking place in London. Something that Police Superintendent Graham (Geoffrey Keen) doesn't like is that whenever there's a murder, Bancroft just happens to write a grisly accurate fictionalisation in his books, but Graham is unable to convict Bancroft, as he has nothing to convict him with. But, Bancroft has a Black Museum under his house, inspired by Scotland Yard's own Black Museum of macabre evidence, Bancroft and his assistant Rick (Graham Curnow) collect old torture weapons for the collection, but there's darker work afoot, and Bancroft has been using Rick, via hypnotism for his own wicked needs and urges. It's a good horror film with some gory set pieces for their day, including a grand finale on a fairground when it all comes out. Gough is brilliant as the wicked old writer, and even though it's plot has no doubt been done before this film and afterwards, it doesn't matter, it's still a good watch.
User Review - 8/10 by Andy FWhat a gem - absolutely loved this film. From its insane opening 15 minutes with a lecture from a supposed expert hypnotist and then straight into the film's shocking opening sequence, Horrors of the Black Museum is macabre and entertaining throughout.
User Review - 6/10 by David BThis movie was pretty stellar until the final two minutes of run time. What a complete lackluster ending, that was a horribly pathetic way to end such a macabre story!
User Review - 6/10 by Richard Cmichael gough chews up the scenery in this horror set in london.great fun this one and a good late night watch.the hypno-vista beginning on the laserdisc is a scream.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael WGough + ham + spiked binoculars = entertainment.
User Review - 4/10 by Al MHorrors of the Black Museum is an entertaining piece of late-50s, British, horror cinema. The film concerns a serial killer who uses a variety of fiendish murder devices from his "Black Museum" to ignite a rampant murder spree in London. Unfortunately, Horrors of the Black Museum never feels like anything more than a bad Herschel Gordon Lewis film--bad because it never features the brutal amount of gore and unintentional humor that makes Gordon worth watching.
User Review - 4/10 by David SHmm, not sure what to make of this film! The opening scene with the binoculars is certainly effective but nothing after that really reaches those ghoulish heights. To say the acting is a bit ropey from a lot of the cast is an understatement and Shirley Ann Field is definitely responsible for most of it. The premise for the film is a good one but the script and acting make the whole thing laughable by the end. Gough is OTT but in a good way but this is more of a comedy now than a horror.
