Sensationally based on a 'true story', Hammer's The StrangIers of Bombay incorporates elements of the horror and thrilIer genres within an exotic adventure tale involving the murderous Kali-worshipping Thuggee cults in lndia during the earIy 1800s.
Under Terence Fisher's masterful direction, and with a surprising degree of attention to historicaI detaiI, The Stranglers of Bombay presents a soIid yarn while (naturaIly) highIighting the gruesome and horrific elements of the story. It set an impressive and intriguing precedent for Hammer's subsequent adventure-thrillers.
