Osiris
Set in ancient Britain, at a time when much of Europe was ruled with harsh tyranny by Rome, a tribe of Britons led by Selina, set out to defy the invaders and discard their yoke of bondage. The Roman commander, Justinian, is sent to quell the uprising, punishing the dissenters with brute force but when he becomes emotionally attached to Selina, he is torn between his duty to Rome and his love for the Viking Queen.
Nothing Barred
Convict
Penniless Lord Whitebait's plan to save his sinking fortunes is to open stately Whitebait Manor to the public. But the public ignores his gesture, and his fortunes fade even further, with a stream of debts threatening to run into a deluge when his daughter's fiancé demands a plush and costly wedding. Where is the cash to come from? Whitebait and his servant Spankforth's answer is a scam involving the theft of a valuable painting from the Manor. How could such a cunningly original ruse fail?
A Maldição do Lobisomem
Gaoler
Sobre um bebê indesejado, nascido na noite de Natal, caiu uma terrível maldição. Criado por Don Alfredo, o jovem Leon passa a sofrer transformações com a chegada da lua cheia. Só o amor verdadeiro e a compreensão podem salvá-lo de seu terrível destino. Único filme cujo tema é a licantropia produzido pela Hammer Film Productions, The Curse of the Werewolf foi dirigido por Terence Fisher em 1961. Repleto de símbolos religiosos e pagãos, e com a tensão sexual a emergir de forma naturalmente animalesca. O então muito jovem Oliver Reed é o lobisomem do título, e representa-o com mais de sentimento e menos de ímpeto assassino do que é costume nestas andanças. Livremente baseado no romance The Werewolf of Paris, o filme desloca a ação para a Espanha do século XVIII.
