"The Creeping Flesh" is about a Victorian-age scientist returning to London with his paleontological bag-of-bones discovery from Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, when exposed to water, flesh returns to the bones unleashing a malevolent being on the scientist's family and friends.
This one stars Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee and directed by Freddie Francis from Amicus. This is another artsy and gory horror film from the 1970s that includes plenty of good drama, dialogue, and well developed characters, along with many twists, turns, and eye opening scenes. The costumes and make up effects are also very well done for the time it came out. The plot thickens when his daughter breaks into her late mother's room to discover how she really was when she was still alive, not what he wanted her to know. It also gets exciting when the monster comes to life. It also has a surprise ending that turned out to be a lot different from anything I saw coming. This one should definitely appeal to those into the classics from Hammer and Amicus.
