1963. Simon & Joan
flea the threats of Joan’s overbearing and violent biker brother (played
by the great Oliver Reed) only to end up at the door step of a potential
nuclear holocaust. With its very British take on the cold war and science
fiction, These Are the Damned remains a true cult favorite.
This amazing genre mash of science fiction, classic
biker film, melodrama and horror was produced by Hammer Films in 1961.
Due its controversial subject mater, the film was not released in England
until 1963, where it was placed at the bottom end of a double feature
with Maniac, and not until 1965 in the US. |
