David Bax Battleship Pretension Aug 14, 2019
The patience and the slow but steady trickle of meaningful information make the movie as much mystery as horror film and the payoff satisfies both genres marvelously. Go to Full Review

There's something about the Cornwall setting that brings out the best in Hammer storytelling, as The Plague of the Zombies is one of the finest of all the studio's features while The Reptile also ranks in the upper echelons. Go to Full Review

Altogether, a film of quite some merit. Go to Full Review

Albus P Feb 10, 2018 The only main problem with this Hammer production is that it's only about 1h 20 minutes long but it feels like it's over 2h. I felt the same way about Plague of the Zombies, which was actually filmed back-to-back with this one, and uses many of the same locations. Hammer films are corny, and this one is, but the reptile make-up is disgusting and creepy as fuck. And the characters are likeable. It's not a classic Hammer horror film, but for devout fans, it's a tasty treat !! See more
