The Creeping Flesh (1973)
Freddie Francis' Hammer esq film is pretty much a Tigon production in all but name. It's depiction of evil as a skeletal figure which grows it's own flesh back when exposed to water has similarities to Blood on Satan's Claw from a couple of years previous, it also shares the same desperately bleak feel as well.
Despite being perhaps one of Peter Cushing's less heralded roles i do think he gives one of his best performances and a special mention to Lorna Heilbron too. Notably a tv actress, she's terrific as Cushing's daughter and is largely at the centre of the plot throughout. The only other thing i remember her from is Larraz's Symptoms (1974), in which she gives another terrific performance.
Francis's camerawork is inventive. From long shots of the cowled creature stalking the English countryside in the moonlight to a creatures eye view as it attacks Cushing in a sequence strikingly similar to his 1965 film The Skull.
So while it remains an enjoyable watch, it's difficult to shake the feeling that certain scenes and ideas have been used previously.
