Title: Classic British Horror Cinema
Product review: First of all The Skull, (Amicus, 1965) is not a Hammer film.The Skull has a few of Hammer's alumni, such as Peter Cushing,Christopher Lee (in a small role), Patrick Wymark, and MichaelGough. The Director Freddie Francis directed a few Hammer Horrorshockers himself, so The Skull can easily be mistaken for beinga Hammer film. The Skull is adapted from a short story by RobertBloch (Psycho) called, The Skull of The Marquis deSade, whichoriginally appeared in Weird Tales back in the late 1940's.The Skull is a very interesting little film, highly recommendedto fans of sixties British Horror Cinema. The Skull's cast ofplayers alone tells something of the quality of this AmicusFilms production. Get The Skull before it gets you.
