Fear & Frears

The Creeping Flesh is a nice slice of Hammer fun starring Cushing and Lee. Playing two competitive scientist brothers they get into a tizzy over a peculiar giant skeleton found in New Guinea that seems to be revivifying and seems to be the embodiment of evil. Nowt particulary outstanding but a solid bit of nonsense nonetheless.



Stamp, Hurt & Roth all provide great performances in The Hit from 1984. Stamp grasses up his chums after a botched job and flees to rural Spain - ten years later and a stone faced Hurt and brash Roth are sent to dispose of him, unfortunately Stamp's serenity and a series of accidents unravel their plans. It's 80's stylishness is a bit much at times but it's well shot and with a strong script and 3 excellent actors this is a terrific forgotten little thriller.
