Exploitation films

Psychomania

Zombie bikers, toad worship and George Sanders' last film. As English as horror gets.

Calvaire

Deliverance relocated to the Belgian mud, and just as unwilling to let anyone leave.

Who Can Kill a Child?

Spanish, sun-bleached, upsetting. The opening newsreel is a hard sell.

The Blood on Satan's Claw

A plough turns up a skull and a village falls apart. Coined the term.

The House with Laughing Windows

A rural giallo with no gloss and a deep, patient dread. Often voted the best one going.

Witchfinder General

Vincent Price with the camp removed. Reeves died at 25, a year later.

The Wicker Man

Not exploitation, filed here by shelf-adjacency. One of Britain's best films.
