Torture Garden (1967) - I'm not the biggest fan of the Amicus Anthology films, but Diabolo makes this one worth a look. 3/5
The Maniac (1963) - I'm pretty sure another film from the same era has an identical ending to this but I can't think which. I may just be mistaken and have possibly seen this Hammer before. 3/5
The Gorgon (1964) - The start is far better than the end. Another of Hammer's more average outings. 3/5
The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb (1964) - Good fun, but they really needed to involve the Mr. King character a lot more than they did. 3/5
Fanatic! (1967) - My favourite film from Powerhouse's Hammer Volume 1 Collection. Perfect casting and some really tense moments. 3.5/5
Fragment of Fear (1970) - I'd never heard of this until its release but it is a solid British suspense with some good twists. 3.5/5
Colonia (2015) - I'm sure this film is pretty inaccurate to the actual Colonia Dignidad cult in Chile, but I thought this was of Emma Watson's better choices at becoming considered a serious post-Harry Potter actress. 3.5/5
Sean Lock: Lockipedia Live (2010) - Sean Lock is someone I will add to my "funnier on panel shows, than in stand-up" list. 3/5
Talk to the Dead (2013) - Japanese horror based around a phone app that lets you talk to the dead. Has a couple of moments where it felt it was getting interesting, but the director failed to keep me hooked. I was disappointed this came from the same director as future J-Horror classic Premonition (2004). 2.5/5
