Horrors of the Black Museum (1959)

Highly entertaining Herman Cohen production with Michael Gough as a mad crime writer who employs a series of eensationalistic deaths for his victims

Berserk (1967)

Film about a series of sensationalistic murders at a circus. Producer Herman Cohen is clearly trying to replicate the success of his earlier Horrors of the Black Museum but produces a much tamer work. On the plus side, the film does have Joan Crawford chewing the scenery in grand style as the circus’s owner

Thunderbird 6 (1968)

The second of the films spun off from the Gerry Anderson puppet tv series and a much better dramatically sustained film than its predecessor

Taste the Blood of Dracula (1970)

The fifth of Hammer’s Dracula films and by general consensus the last worthwhile entry. New director Peter Sasdy brings something fresh and creates an interesting plot that digs beneath the veneer of Victorian hypocrisy

Doomwatch (1972)

The film spinoff of a popular 1970s British tv series about a group investigating scientific and ecological abuses. The film depicts an investigation into an outbreak of aromegaly on an island near where growth stimulants have been dumped.
