      Alton Williams Battle Royale With Cheese Horrors of the Black Museum occupies a distinctive place in the history of horror cinema, serving as a precursor to the slasher genre while infusing creativity into its portrayal of violence. Jan 22, 2024 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy This is a bit grislier than expected, and this hard edge allows the picture to occasionally overcome its pedestrian plot points. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 26, 2023 Full Review MFB Critics Monthly Film Bulletin For all its contemporary setting, the plot of this lurid melodrama relies almost entirely on hackneyed Gothic paraphernalia. Feb 2, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Bob Bloom Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN) A film that goes in more for shock than horror. Rated: 2/5 Dec 7, 2003 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews "This one is a must see for horror film fans." Rated: C+ Apr 10, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member lástima, empezó bien. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Ham acting at it's best. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a fair and fun horror story to watch, however the acting is terrible throughout. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Gough + ham + spiked binoculars = entertainment. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review andy f What a gem - absolutely loved this film. From its insane opening 15 minutes with a lecture from a supposed expert hypnotist and then straight into the film's shocking opening sequence, Horrors of the Black Museum is macabre and entertaining throughout. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A London murder columnist commits the murders he writes about using grisly items from his personal museum. Dated. Beginning wastes 13 minutes with a presentation on hypnotism from Dr. Emile Franchel that has no connection to the film. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
