CORRIDORS OF BLOOD (1958, although there have been release dates as late as 1962). Boris Karloff is very good as an eminent surgeon who in the 1850's is trying desperately to find a way to sedate patients during surgery so no pain will be involved-kind of grim settings and a realization that "surgery" normally meant amputation or severe agony. He experiments with several chemicals until He finds a solution that works; unfortunately, He has ended up being addicted to his experimental elixir and having to associate with people He normally would cross the street to avoid. Lots of Hammer people in here including a very seedy Christopher Lee, a very young and lovely Yvonne Romain (CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF) and Francis Matthews (REVENGE OF FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA, PRINCE OF DARKNESS). ***

Quatermass 2 1957 ★★★
This sequel to the cult classic Quatermass delves a bit deeper into the horror and the scarier parts. That makes it more of a fun watch, seeing how they now have more of a budget for special effects. Of course, it's still a fifties flick, so the effects are not up to the standards that were developed in the seventies. But it is in a way interesting to see how Hammer are dveeloping their craft, thus going into the genre powerhouse they later would become. Side note: The way a lot of these people talk is the stereotypical cliché a lot of people have in mind when they think of Britain. Shown in the obliviousness when Quatermass first encounters the invaders. I say, old chap, what's all this then? A fun watch and available on YT for those interested.
