Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed (1969)

[3] As much as I enjoy most Hammer horror movies, their Frankenstein series almost always underwhelms me. Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed is the fifth film in the series and the fourth to disappoint. (Only 1967's Frankenstein Created Woman is worth…
Shock Waves (1977)

Shock Waves (1977)

[7] Nazi zombies rise from the sea and prey on a group of youngsters stranded at an abandoned island resort. You either love the sound of that, or you don't. I really dig it. Peter Cushing makes a welcome appearance…
Top Secret! (1984)

Top Secret! (1984)

[9] With double-entendres out the wazoo and sight gags out the yin-yang, not to mention a shiny young Val Kilmer dancing and singing his heart out, Top Secret! wins me over. Kilmer plays an Elvis Presley-like crooner set to perform…
Horror Express (1972)

Horror Express (1972)

[7] British horror icons Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing play rival scientists trying to contain a defrosted prehistoric creature aboard the Trans-Siberian Express in this moody midnight horror flick. The monster's kill count starts to feel repetitive and you'll have…
Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)

Frankenstein Created Woman (1967)

[7] Hammer Films' and Peter Cushing's fourth Frankenstein film is easily the best up to that point, even though Cushing takes a bit of a back seat in the narrative. In Frankenstein Created Woman, the first half of the story…
The Gorgon (1964)

The Gorgon (1964)

[3] One of the creepiest and more original concepts for a Hammer horror movie is also one of the studio's most disappointing efforts. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee reunite for The Gorgon, but their characters aren't very interesting and the…
The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)

The Evil of Frankenstein (1964)

[3] Hammer's third Frankenstein film (following 1958's The Revenge of Frankenstein) is more of a one-off than a sequel, having little to do with the films before or after it. It marked the return of Peter Cushing to gothic horror…
Night Creatures (1962)

Night Creatures (1962)

[7] In this Hammer production set in 18th century England, the British Navy is sent to a coastal town where residents are suspected of smuggling alcohol. When the navy arrives, they are side-tracked by assertions of ghostly 'marsh phantoms' that…
The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

The Revenge of Frankenstein (1958)

[4] Peter Cushing returns for Hammer's first sequel to their highly successful The Curse of Frankenstein. The sequel opens with Cushing's mad baron escaping the guillotine and setting up camp in a new town where he transplants the brain of…
Corruption (1968)

Corruption (1968)

[2] Peter Cushing stars as a doctor who murders people so he can harvest their pituitary glands to (somehow?) restore his fiancée's badly burned face. At first, guilt drives his character because he's partially to blame for the accident that…
