The Reptile – Blu-ray Review (1 Viewer)

[t1g3r5fan]

During the mid 1960’s, Hammer tried an experiment: film four movies back-to-back and distribute them – with distribution partner 20th Century Fox – in a pair of twin bill packages for theaters. One of the films, The Reptile, was filmed back-to-back with The Plague of the Zombies and distributed with Rasputin: The Mad Monk; here, the movie has a slightly more modern setting than Plague but still adheres to the Gothic style the studio was known for. Previously released on DVD by Anchor Bay here in the US, Shout Factory – via the Scream label – has picked the film for its Blu-ray debut here.

Great review.
I watched this recently and thought it was near the top of the Hammer horror films. Gothic horror, both atmospheric, and suspenseful. I loved every second of it.
