Steve Biodrowski Cinefantastique If you are a fan of classic British horror, and you are looking for something in the same line as Hammer Films (if not as good), then THE BLACK TORMENT is worth checking out. Rated: 3/5 Aug 1, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Something of a Hammer Horror copy in style, but the mystery period story is good enough to make this a worthy film in its own right. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Compared to director Robert Hartford-Davis' later films, this is surprisingly well mounted - elegant, even, with some striking cinematography from Peter Newbrook. Alas, despite some acting talent in the supporting roster (Peter Arne comes off best), this is mostly a dull and inordinantly *sedate* affair - more akin to a Gainsboro melodrama than a proper horror film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Un très bon film aux dà (C)cors gothiques, une histoire qui vous tient en haleine jusqu'au dà (C)nouemant final et des acteurs à la hauteur. Malheureusement, l'à (C)dition DVD Neo Publishing/Mad Movies est très mal voire pas restaurà (C)e du tout. Les images sont souvent très sombres et ont beaucoup d'imperfections. Mais le plus dà (C)rangeant c'est le son qui grà (C)sille sur de nombreuses scènes, ce qui rend le visionnage parfois pà (C)nible. Dommage car c'est un très bon film...
