Movie Info

Peter Cushing delivers one of his finest hand-wringing performances as Emmanuel Hildern, a Victorian man of science who relates a mad tale of horror to his half-brother and professional rival James (Christopher Lee). His tale begins with the discovery of the weird skeletal remains of a large unknown humanoid in Papua, new Guinea, which he carts back to England for study. Even more unusual than the skeleton's ghastly appearance is its ability to grow new flesh when moistened with water. Further

This 'Flesh' has little a-peel.

Tepid horror with two British icons as its only draw.

Peter Cushing in a hand-wringing performance is Professor Emmanuel Hildern.

Under rated Hammer horror, with a nice twist at the end.

If there is an evil gene, I must surely be a carrier. I love the wild London nightlife in this movie, not to mention the creature effects. One of my all-time favorites!
