Quick Hit

The Flesh and the Fiends either bites hard or fizzles out; this one lands well below the line. There’s some life in it, but not enough.

Full Take

This one swings hard at horror and only sometimes connects. The craft is either locked in or hanging by a thread, and this movie knows it. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That keeps it stuck at BAD.
