The Stranglers of Bombay was made by Hammer in 1960 and I found this quite good. It is rather violent for its time.
A series of rather gruesome murders in India turn out to be the work of a religious cult, known as the Stranglers. These people kill just for fun and they enjoy it. A British soldier based over there investigates these killings and nearly becomes a victim himself, but a mongoose appears and killing one of these animals is one of the Stranglers' tabu's. The leader of the Stranglers is killed at the end, along with most of the other members.
The cast includes Guy Rolfe (Mr Sardonicus), Jan Holden, Andrew Cruickshank, George Pastell, Allan Cuthbertson and Roger Delgado (First Man Into Space). Good parts from all.
The Stranglers of Bombay is worth checking out, especially if you are a fan of Hammer.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
