| User ReviewMichael SClassic Lee and Cushing horror with great atmosphere, mad scientists, and one creepy monster. Very cool movie. |
| User ReviewDavid SPeter Cushing and Christopher lee excell in this genuinely atmospheric film. |
| User ReviewBlais EWonderfully-eerie and rarely- seen horror flick in the gothic Hammer vein, even featuring its two greatest stars together once again. Peter Cushing stars as meek-and-mild scientist Dr. Emmanuel Hildern who has unearthed an enormous, aberrantly-humanoid skeleton and brings it back to his English Country estate for further research, unaware of its latent evil properties. To his horror, he discovers that the frighteningly-fiendish-fossil find can regenerate tissue, veins, muscle---the titular "Creeping Flesh"---upon exposure to water. Needless to say, the heinous heap of bones winds up in the hands of his unscrupulous half-brother (Christopher Lee), and as he attempts to abscond with it, his coach overturns in a rain storm....you can probably fill in the rest! A well-produced, superbly-acted offbeat chiller. |
| User ReviewJayden CIf there is an evil gene, I must surely be a carrier. I love the wild London nightlife in this movie, not to mention the creature effects. One of my all-time favorites! |
| User ReviewChristine Co ultimo suspiro criativo dos cults de horror inglês. O pessimismo da escola alemã com a fleuma inglesa concorrem para o final lúgubre. Profundamente devoniano em sua sutileza. ( "O pai do céu vai chorar") |
| User ReviewGreg WI love both the horror films of Britain's Hammer Studios and the pairings of Sir Peter Cushing and Sir Christopher Lee so very much. Though this is one of their latter and lesser-known, it doesn't disappoint. Very much worth purchasing and rewatches for the horror connoisseurs amongst you... |

| User ReviewNeil OA minor classic of British gothic, with an original monster, insanity running rampant, and an effective twist ending. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee in one of their later pairings. |
| User ReviewAnthony VUnder rated Hammer horror, with a nice twist at the end. |
| User ReviewPeter HGood old-fashioned monster movie made in 1970´s England and set in Victorian times. Cozy Hammeresque look and Christopher Lee as truly nasty asylum director. |
