    BONUS EP 446 - DEMON'S OF THE MIND (1972) BLURAY REVIEW - RELEASE DATE 6th APRIL 2026

    Duncan is back looking at one of the most overlooked entries in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue. Demons of the Mind (1972) has steadily grown in reputation as a bold, unsettling and genuinely ambitious piece of gothic horror.  Directed by Peter Sykes and written by Christopher Wicking, the film trades traditional monsters for psychological decay, repression and inherited madness. Robert Hardy delivers a powerhouse performance as the deeply disturbed Baron Zorn, supported by the volatile energy of Shane Briant and Gillian Hills, with Patrick Magee adding a layer of intensity that pushes the film into darker territory. Dismissed on release, it’s now widely appreciated by fans for its ambition—its striking visuals, uncomfortable themes and willingness to push Hammer beyond its comfort zone. This new Collector’s Edition gives the film a long-overdue reappraisal with a brand-new 4K Dolby Vision restoration that highlights its rich, atmospheric cinematography. Packed with both new and archival extras, it’s a comprehensive release for collectors and newcomers alike.  Features include:  4K UHD & Blu-ray discsNew 4K Dolby Vision restorationMultiple audio commentariesNew featurettes including Evil In the Blood & Blood Will Have BloodInterviewsStills and lobby card galleriesTrailer64-page booklet with essays and original press materialBrand-new artwork Two posters & a release date of 6th April 2026. The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn’t Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved It Demon's of the Mind: Duncan: 4.5 Thanks to Studio Canal & Fetch PR for the review copy of this movie.

    BONUS EP 445 - BLOOD FROM THE MUMMY'S TOMB (1971) BLURAY REVIEW - RELEASE DATE 6th APRIL 2026

    Duncan is back to review a late-era entry from Hammer Film Productions, Blood from the Mummy’s Tomb which stands apart from the studio’s earlier monster-led formula by reworking classic Mummy lore through a more psychological and intriguingly subversive lens. Directed by Seth Holt and based on a story by Bram Stoker, the film shifts the horror inward centred on identity, possession, and female power. Arriving during a period of declining commercial success for Hammer, the film didn’t redefine the studio’s fortunes, but has since earned recognition as one of its more unusual and thematically rich horrors. This new Collector’s Edition brings the film to 4K for the first time with a brand-new Dolby Vision restoration, offering a strong presentation of one of Hammer’s more visually distinctive late-period releases. The set is packed with both archival and newly produced extras, alongside collectible physical content. Features include:  4K UHD & Blu-ray discsNew 4K Dolby Vision restorationMultiple new featurettes and interviewsAudio commentaryArchival materials including TV/radio spots and galleries64-page booklet with essays and original press kitBrand-new artwork, Two posters & a release date of 6th April 2026.

    BONUS EP 444 - FEAR IN THE NIGHT (1972) BLURAY REVIEW - RELEASE DATE 23rd MARCH 2026

    Duncan is here to review a fascinating outlier in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue, Fear in the Night trades gothic horror for something far more intimate and unsettling. Directed by Jimmy Sangster, this psychological chiller leans heavily on atmosphere and performance, with Judy Geeson delivering a genuinely gripping turn as a woman unsure whether she’s being hunted or losing her grip on reality. Supported by the ever-reliable Peter Cushing and a quietly enigmatic Joan Collins, the film stands as one of Hammer’s more unusual experiments—less iconic, perhaps, but rich in tension and worth rediscovery. This new Collector’s Edition from Studio Canal marks the film’s worldwide 4K debut, giving Sangster’s eerie, stripped-back thriller a fresh lease of life. The release includes a brand-new 4K restoration presented on both 4K UHD and Blu-ray, alongside a strong set of extras and physical additions for collectors. Features include: 4K UHD & Blu-ray discs New 4K restorationAudio commentariesFeaturettes including: The Fragile Mind and End of TermTheatrical trailer, stills gallery64-page booklet with new essaysBrand-new artworkTwo posters & a release date of 23rd March 2026.
