She

July 21, 2025 • 81 mins

A story that's been around the block a few times after many screen adaptations, She became a genuine blockbuster hit for Hammer, but is it as much a hit with the lads?

If you don't think the film is one to be obeyed, don't worry, elsewhere Adam brings you a bit of the history of the source novel, Philip looks at hats and Smokey warmly embraces River Patrol...

Hammer Bites: Masklophobia

July 16, 2025 • 8 mins

With everyone being a bit giddy about Hammer Films releasing a sumptuous 4K remaster of Quatermass 2 that goes into so much detail, we were surprised that nobody thought to investigate the gas masks used in the film so Cev's here to talk about the surprising connection between Blake's 7, potpourri and coconuts...

Fanatic

July 7, 2025 • 85 mins

Let's stick with the proper title, because Die, Die, My Darling isn't great, is it?

But, we do get Tallulah Bankhead giving it both barrels, Peter Vaughan being absolutely terrifying and Donald Sutherland being...never mind.

This has the makings of something special, does it live up to it's pedigree?

The Curse Of The Mummy's Tomb. A veritable cornucopia of discoveries that range from the dictionary definition of the word 'Adam' to the existential threat of ageing with so much in-between, but how good is the film at the end of all this?

Hammer Bites: The Hand Crank

June 18, 2025 • 3 mins

The House Of Hammer team often wanders off the beaten track when taking a closer look at the film at hand, but Cev wandered so far off said track that there were fears of him never returning.

In Meet Simon Cherry (1949), our heroic Reverend has his car started by a helpful chap called Charlie and his crank handle only to then leave them both behind. This one tiny moment set Cev off on a voyage of discovery...
