Inhalt: |
Sensationally based on a 'true story', Hammer's The Stranglers of Bombay incorporates eIements of the horror and thriller genres within an exotic adventure tale invoIving the murderous Kali-worshipping Thuggee cults in India during the earIy 1800s.
Under Terence Fisher's masterful direction, and with a surprising degree of attention to historicaI detail, The Stranglers of Bombay presents a solid yarn while (naturally) highIighting the gruesome and horrific elements of the story. It set an impressive and intriguing precedent for Hammer's subsequent adventure-thrilIers.
