The Stranglers of
Bombay (1959)
Directed by Terence
Fisher this film stars Guy Rolfe, Jan Holden, Andrew Cruickshank and
George Pastell. In the 1830s an officer of the British East India
company attempts to investigate the disappearance of hundreds of
natives despite the disinterest of his superiors.
This is a break from
the better known Gothic horror adaptations that Hammer Horror
specialised in for something more routed in actual history. The plot
is nothing amazing but is serviceable as a look into the cult of
Thuggee. Some of the image quality is not amazing but for the most
part the film does a good job of recreating India on a budget.
3/5
