The Sorcerers (1967)
The original story for this movie came from John Burke, who for the majority of his career wrote the novelizations for movies such as A Hard Day’s Night, Dr. Terror’s House of Horrors, two volumes of The Hammer Horror Omnibus, Ian Fleming’s Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Moon Zero Two and many more. Director Michael Reeves and his […]
Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter (1974)
In a better world, there would be way more than just one movie with Captain Kronos (Horst Janson, dubbed by Julian Holloway) in it. Along with his partner Professor Hieronymus Grost (John Cater), he’s come to town to investigate a series of vampire-style murders, but while he’s there, why not romance Carla (Caroline Munro), a […]
Berserk! (1967)
Joan Crawford’s second-to-last big-screen appearance — Trog would be the final movie she made — Berserk! posits a world where the ageless Ms. Crawford rules a circus and of course sleeps with the hottest performer in the show. Is she in her late forties? Fifties? Perhaps even nearing sixty? Who can say and who really cares, as […]
The Plague of the Zombies (1966)
Shot back-to-back with The Reptile using the same sets, The Plague of the Zombies is all about a Cornish village that finds many of its inhabitants mysteriously dying and then rising from their graves and are working in a tin mine. This isn’t a fallen satellite or hell bring full. This is voodoo in 1860s England […]
Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)
From flesh and innocence, Frankenstein has created the ultimate in evil. A beautiful woman with the soul of the devil! With a tagline like that, how can you not watch this movie? The fourth film in Hammer’s Frankenstein series is a thought-provoking exploration of the soul and morality. It’s the one in which we stop […]
The Second Coming (1980)
Editor’s Note: On June 26, 2021, we had a “Ron Ormond Day” in tribute to his films. You’ll find the links to the reviews from that day of films — and others — within this review. This is the one Ron Ormond film that eludes the staff of B&S About Movies. Sure, Sam and I […]
Unchained (2021)
One of my favorite independent movie games to play is “how will people work Eric Roberts into their movie?” Much like John Carradine, they often shoot him completely independent of their film and then splice him in, getting his name recognition while not having him matter at all narratively. I applaud this notion and a […]
The Terrornauts (1967)
I’ll give The Terrornauts two things: It has a great poster with the tagline “The virgin sacrifice to the gods of a ghastly galaxy!” and it’s only 75 minutes long. Based on The Wailing Asteroid by Murray Leinster, this film was double-billed with The Came from Beyond Space (which we’ll review directly after this) and both […]
They Came from Beyond Space (1967)
We already covered the film that this played double bills with — The Terrornauts — earlier today. And much like that movie, this one has a great poster that advertises a movie I want to see more than the one that I actually watched. Based on Joseph Millard’s The Gods Hate Kansas, this was directed by […]
Bloodbath at the House of Death (1984)
Arriving at the end of the video nasty era, when this British comedy was screened for censor James Ferman, the reels were played in the wrong order. Nonetheless, he enjoyed the movie and it passed. It was created by British comedian, DJ and television presenter Kenny Everett, who got his start in pirate radio before […]
