Demons of the Mind : Worst. Hammer. Ever.
Re: Worst. Hammer. Ever.
Partially disagree. First 2/3 I found very traditional gothic Hammer horror, but a weak final third seriously let the film down. Yeah no "monster" per say, if you dont count the monster illness afflicting the son (& his horrible monsterish deeds).
Agreed not Hammer's finest hour but good interesting characters with good development, spooky atmosphere, hot lead vixen, great sets, good story momentum. Boring last 3rd until the final conclusion which provided some restotution for the plodding leading up to it.
On the other hand I started watching "The man who cheated death" last night..now that is booooooring. One cool scene in the first 40 minutes then lots of slow plodding word heavy monotomy, switched off @ 40 minute mark, will attack it again soon.

I love hammer and amicus but this film was woeful. The chicks racks made up for it tho!
Re: Worst. Hammer. Ever.
Oh dearSO wrong..beautiful,stylish,intelligent,absorbing,unusual,what the heck more do you want from a Hammer film?? One of their best efforts as far as I'm concerned,think you need to see this again!
Worst. Hammer. Ever.
The more I think of it, the more I realise this is the first Hammer I have really thoroughly not liked. It was like Hammer trying to do an Italian giallo, without cool lighting and style.
Anyway, I just needed to rant. Let me know what you think of my rant and maybe I will see your comments one day xo
