[QUOTE="Llew, post: 242269, member: 175007"] A minor British classic (in my opinion) is 'Death Line', starring Donald Pleasance. More ghoulish than your usual Hammer flick, it sometimes crops up (I believe with some cuts) late on Sky Movies. Unsubtly titled on US release as 'Raw Meat', I saw it at the cinema in the early '70's and it chilled the hell out of me. Pleasance stole the show as a (sometimes drunk) police inspector, but the scenes in the London Underground showing the remains of wayward travellers hanging on meathooks was a real 'gorefest'. My abiding memory is that of the resident killer repeating the call 'Mind the Doors' as the only phrase he ever heard, having lived all his life in the tube. When a film sticks in the mind long after having seen it (only seen it once since) it becomes a personal film classic, even if it may have been panned by critics and others on release. Llew [/QUOTE]
