Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 4/10 by Ken HankeBetter than average -- and often overlooked -- Hammer opus.
User Review - 10/10 by Blais EREALLY creepy Hammer film with an interestingly-offbeat critter causing all the commotion in a small Cornish hamlet--a slinky snake-woman leaving her deadly hickies on the necks of the as-usual-superstitious-but-incapable-of-stopping-it local boneheads. Loads of freaky fun, good for a screening on Halloween night!
User Review - 10/10 by Douglas Csmall budget, but creepy...and you'll never realise how good Hammer could make silk purses out of sows eras....watch and enjoy!
User Review - 8/10 by Kenneth BMade back to back with The Plauge of the Zombies,and while that film is held in high regard ,this one seems to have been a little forgotten which is a shame as its pretty good in its own right. The set up is classic Hammer strange goings on in a Cornish village where people keep turning up dead with blackened faces foaming at the mouth. Whats the cause ? well the villagers wont say and any newcomers are given that impression despite the fact the body count is verging on double figures. The clues are presented in a nice old fashioned way and the film gets plenty of milage from its Cornish gothic surrondings with plenty of misty desolate locations . One can see when watching this Part of the film where John Landis came up with the ideas for the Slaughtered Lamb parts of American Werewolf In London. The repitile itself isnt half bad considering its 1966 and the film has plenty of light scares to keep the film fans happy. Whereas the latter Hammer films became a parody this really has stood the test of time to become one of the studios more classier projects.
User Review - 8/10 by Ugly TIt's nice to see actor, Michael Ripper have a larger role in a Hammer film!
User Review - 8/10 by L JI have seen my own future and it's "Mad Peter" - an eccentric perceived as the village nutcase - played by John Laurie (of Dad's Army)!! Director John Gilling made this concurrently with his The Plague Of The Zombies, using the same village sets and also one of that film's cast (Jacqueline Pearce) in the title role. (I rather enjoy the notion (in my own mind, you understand) that it's actually set in the SAME village as the one in Plague... - that it's a village in Cornwall where weird shit just keeps inexplicably occurring.) This has vague similarities with Hammer's earlier film, The Gorgon, which is generally accepted as the better film (with Cushing, Lee, Shelley in its cast, and directed by the mighty Terence Fisher), but this has the advantage of being set in that creepy Plague... village. Pearce is pretty excellent as the cursed Anna, suffering for her father's knowledge of the covert Snake People Cult of Borneo in a rather nasty way - but also effectively scary in reptilian form! The GREAT Michael Ripper features as the innkeeper (with a FANTASTIC beard!), a pretty good role for him - and a much larger one than usual. Jennifer Daniel had previously appeared in Hammer's Kiss Of The Vampire, and her role here is no less bland, to be honest. Not a bad little chiller - in fact, quite underrated, I would say. Released originally as support feature to Rasputin, The Mad Monk!
User Review - 8/10 by Private UOne of the stars is for the opening. The other is out of mercy.
User Review - 8/10 by Paul BClassic Hammer Horror which is well acted & directed & features an excellent & unique creature. After inheriting a Cornish cottage Ray Barrett & Jennifer Daniel relocate to it much to the chagrin of the locals who warn them off. It appears there is much more to the stories of something out and about on the moors at night than is first believed. Tense throughout & some wonderful moments at its climax, this remains a solid movie that has aged very well.
User Review - 8/10 by Sally AFrom Hammer Films, written by Hammer veteran Anthony Hinds (writing under the alias of John Elder), and directed by John Gilling (The Plague of the Zombies (1966) and The Mummy's Shroud (1967)), this is a creepy gothic horror which is effective with some dated effects, but it'll do for an hour and a half. Set around the turn of the century, it begins when Charles Edward Spalding (David Baron) is murdered by an unseen creature that infects his skin, something which the locals the 'Black Death'. Charles' brother Harry Spalding (Ray Barrett) inherits his late brother's cottage, which he decides to move into with his new bride Valerie (Jennifer Daniel). The local villagers stay away from Harry and Valerie, but the local innkeeper Tom Bailey (Michael Ripper) is the only one willing to help them. Harry and Valerie find their cottage trashed and their neighbour Dr. Franklyn (Noel Willman), is cold and cruel, and he treats his daughter Anna (Jacqueline Pearce) badly as well, and he has a sinister manservant called Malay (Marne Maitland). But, the deaths start all over again, beginning with drunk Mad Peter (John Laurie). It's a dark horror film, (it shares the same sets as The Plague of the Zombies, as well as much of the same crew.) Even if the make-up, when it comes eventually, looks a bit corny and laughable, it manages to stay interesting for it's duration. Just what you'd expect from Hammer then.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard CThis is what Hammer was all about. Great stuff, although the monster could have been treated better. Less direct viewings to hide the crappy make up.
