Directed by Sidney J. Furie
UK 1961
A Monster created from the depths! After being dismissed from medical school because of his devious experiments, Doctor Peter Blood returns home to join his father’s practice. He still believes he can create the perfect human, so he continues his experiments in an abandoned mine where he attempts to revive a rotting corpse. But Dr. Blood needs a living "donor", to create his "perfect human", and soon people start to disappear from the nearby village. This shocker stars Kieron Moore (The Day Of The Triffids) and Hazel Court (The Curse Of Frankenstein, The Masque Of The Red Death) and was directed by Sidney J. Furie (The Entity, The Ipcress File). *** After being thrown out of medical school for ethical violations, Dr. Peter Blood returns home to a small Cornish village, where he sets up a research laboratory in a secluded cave. There, he attempts to revive the dead, using kidnapped humans -- who he views as unworthy of life -- for their body parts, specifically, their hearts. |

The Shout! Factory
Blu-ray
Sidney J. Furie's Doctor Blood's Coffin
is not top-shelf sci-fi horror but I always enjoy this genre from the
50's and 60's - especially the UK variety. It's not Hammer but something
I could throw on every few years and enjoy in a Sunday afternoon, home
theater, matinee. Shout! Factory Blu-ray
