Spot on pal. The new style of Horror film is bad. It's worse than garbage tbf & H.. I haven't watched any of the Horrors since the 1990's and even then they weren't great either. The 1930's, 40's 60's & 70's Horror films were the best made imho..
Many thanks for posting, I haven’t seen this one before. As others have already commented, it’s hard to believe that this isn’t a Hammer production, as it has all the hallmarks of one.
A great but overlooked gothic horror film from the genre's heyday. This flick and "The Blancheville Monster" (1963), another neglected gothic gem, share many similarities. Although, of course, I was never there, I'd dare say "The Black Torment" presents a remarkably authentic even if fictional depiction of life in late eighteenth century England. Thanks for this beautiful post !
Comparing these old films to modern films leads the viewer to one inescapable conclusion. The more film technology improves, the worse the creative side becomes. I wish they'd learn how to make good movies again.
@@stephenwilson5713 Whether it's his right or his left does not matter. You have to realize that for every film put up on youtube, there are 10 films that were so bad, and I bad in a bad way, that no one even remembers them. Kind of like classic rock music. Everyone remembers the Who, but what about Kiki Dee, Captain and Tenile. Really really bad music.
All by design. History is about to be erased again. Proof is no one can find relatives bast the early 1800s from the last one. The war of 1812 isn't what is presented by academia and historians. All made up. Every aspect of this reality is being downgraded and all by those who are and have always ruled here. The old babyonian priesthood. Reset underway now, can you see it?
Great movie, I had suspicions but ultimately could not guess the ending entirely. Geat fight scene. Sometimes it's great to have a wife who is no whimp. This woman was a tower of strength, all things considered. Loved this one. A bit thrilling, frightening, and a mystery all in one.
Once again Flick Vault, thank you for unlocking another little gem of a film to your loyal ‘Subbies’! As it has been said before, film making is so different today, and grassroots film making is been regrettably forgotten! I don’t find today’s films gripping and exciting as they once were! A sad day!
Had this film on VHS many years ago, good to see it in such clarity. Not seen this movie in thirty years, full of British character actors and still worth a viewing!
Fascinating movie, absolutely awesome! Loved it. Though my guess was correct but still I was not sure till the end. Its a surprise that I never heard its name. What a pity!
I can’t imagine how I’ve not seen this…I am 56 and have obsessed with horror since childhood. Very few movies, especially during this time period have escaped me. Thanks so much for this upload!
@@LydiaMyeza That’s marrying material there andfellas, unless you’re a dude too, the ladies…lookout!there’s. Marrying qualities there my friends…take it from a “lifer”. I’ve been married 37 years, comprise is the best advice I think we have.
Great find! I've seen many of this genre, but this one actually had me going at the end. I thought I'd figured it out, but the ending was super anyway!
Enjoyed it, but figured the plot within 25 minutes. Know he was being gas lighted and who were involved and why. Even that the wife's sister was secretly in love with him. Despite knowing all the plot spoilers, was a well presented movie.
A real slow burner, but that is what I liked about it. You can see how much effort has gone in every detail, the opening scene was really good, it sets the tone, all the actors were really good. I do not understand the really low rating in IMDB , so unfair.
Had it halfway guessed, halfway through. Knew the sister was involved, and Seymour, but I thought that, Richard's father, was also part. For the peeps with a keen eye, check out the scene @1:23:00, right after the chair was thrown to the floor, and you can see the protective glass shield being removed, after the chair wasn't a threat, to the camera, anymore. As the chair hits the floor, for a 2nd. time, the glass slides, to the left. Excellent picture, I have never heard of before👍😁!!!
It was packed with clues though. The fact that the dead woman's "ghost" looked just like her and her twin Sister was still living in the house was a pretty massive clue.
I figured it out early on but it was fun watching it all unfold! The end fight was crazy! Feel free for the cops to stand by while the innocent victim dukes it out with the *killer* in a fight to the death! 😄
If y’all liked that one, check out the ghost lady in the 1981 movie by Universal called Ghost Story. Peter Straub is the author of the novel which came out in 1979. He almost outdid Steven King in the Gothic genre. Indeed, the two collaborated on a novel later together called Black House.
Pretty good, especially for the period elements (I don't think I've ever seen the carriage blocks on a steep hill before). The Who-Dun-It element is somewhat obvious, though, and I think some bits and pieces must have been cut out along the line (the minor subplot with the to-be-married servants, for example). But well worth the hour and a half ;-)
That's right baby, stand by your man. Jealousy, greed, and murder, all the things that make for a splendid thriller. This wasn't a who done it, this was a WHO WAS DOING IT all the way to the end? More, please?
A little Hammer knockoff not bad but why is everybody screaming at each other. That "Old Vic" training they have to hear you in the back of the theatre. Enjoyable.
Not a harsh criticism really but couldn't one of the trusty retainers have applied a little goose grease to the wheels of the old gent's wheelchair? Other than that the language and photography was superb. Acting? Excellent. Story? Daft in places. All in all much better than most you see on the screen today.
🧜Can't believe ii haven't seen this! 💃Thought I'd seen all old films. 😎 Thanx beautiful, appreciate your share, made my 🦋🎶Saturday night, like old times. 🌻😻
8.5/10 an Interesting Historical Drama/Mystery Thriller, though endued with various clues and shots which should be easy enough to Already call at the beginning, Still; It’s handled way better than some other Mystery Stories I’ve experienced in the past
Not a bad costume gothic horror though it had some poor reviews on its release. Told that the movie was having production problems the producers ripped ten pages out of the shooting script and told the poor director to carry on !
This film is so bad it is good. It follows a formula and in the end the good guy gets the girl. This is I minor classic in the mould of British cinema. Stick with it . It is a hoot.
These modern fancy films are no good. We should go back to the good old days of black & white, no color, no sound, jerky handcranked films shown in smelly tents down in Skid Row. They should make movies like that again. :)
This is a wonderful movie! It is back when men were men and their women supported them thru hell or high water. Honor, valor and name are at stake, along with very mean and cruel things done by someone.
Great to see Jedikiah (the robot from The Tomorrow People - ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tomorrow_People ) remember that one? Essential viewing after school in the early '70s.
someone should open a movie theater and just run these types of films 24/7. Put the "new" stuff out of business!
So true. I know I would pay to go see these types of movies in the theater, would be a blast.
What a great idea, there is a closed down one near me hmmmm.
It’s called TCM Turner Classic Movies channel - these movies play 24/7 with no commercials.
I second that idea 👌🏌️🏌️

I think there are some good movies made now, but basically your right, (unfortunately).

Correct, there is zero creativity in films today, they're all crap. Movies like Black Torment show how a movie should be!

What a great film. I haven't seen this before which is a treat given how many I have watched over the years. Thank you for the upload.
Predictable ending, but still loved the movie. And the actor who played Sir Richard did an excellent job.

I've watched a couple of these movies from these centuries. They never cease to disappoint. 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏽👏🏽👀🐕🐈
Good movie, photograph, music, acting, all right!
Had this film on VHS many years ago, good to see it in such clarity. Not seen this movie in thirty years, full of British character actors and still worth a viewing!
Any film featuring Raymond Huntley, Patrick Troughton and Norman Bird is tops in my book.
What a great old movie pact with mystery, action, drama, and excitement . There's not a dull moment . 2 thumbs up 👍👍 🙂
Great movie
Enjoyable romp 😏
I love this picture,the old way of terror,the suspense,the clothes ,the carriage fabulous, thanks for that love from Puerto Rico ❤️❤️❤️
Very much in the Hammer film genre of the day. Loved it!!

Hello there. Thanks for uploading this one. I've never seen it before. I have watched so many fr4om this Era but never saw this one before..
Enjoyed it, but figured the plot within 25 minutes. Know he was being gas lighted and who were involved and why. Even that the wife's sister was secretly in love with him. Despite knowing all the plot spoilers, was a well presented movie.
Great old film. Typical of English filmmaking of that time when Peter Cushing and Christopher lee were alive!
...and Hammer too..
A good gothic film. Hadn't seen it before. Loved the scenery and set designs......and story😊
A real slow burner, but that is what I liked about it.
You can see how much effort has gone in every detail, the opening scene was really good, it sets the tone, all the actors were really good.
I do not understand the really low rating in IMDB , so unfair.
I loved this old film. It was just the type of thing I was looking for today. What a gem.
Great Movie! Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this. So clear , high quality cinematography.👍💫

Best movie watched in the last few months, fantastic film
Thank you. I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It keeps you guessing until the end!
It was packed with clues though. The fact that the dead woman's "ghost" looked just like her and her twin Sister was still living in the house was a pretty massive clue.
Seymour FINALLY got the point!
Great movie, thank you for the download and thanks TH-cam
Thank you very much for uploading this wonderful movie! It was such a good film and would hardly be produced any more nowadays!
And they all lived happily ever after, excellent film thanks for posting
Love it thank you another great flick❤
That was an unexpected treat thanks, love this era of horror films 🍺🍺🍺🍺
Fantastic quality..love the old films..thanx for upload!
Never had seen this gem of a movie. Thank you for the pristine upload!
An excellent film.....Thank you
I love the fonts in the beginning. Most pleasing

A bloody god film. Really enjoyed this one. Well worth watching. PC.16. 02. 2020.
Fantastic movie. oldies
Agree

The leading man is so attractive to me ,I want to howl like a wolf !
This was a good movie in the end.
Well acted, atmospheric and visually beautiful. Again, thanks a lot, Flick Vault!
Hard to believe this isn't a Hammer film. But I bet a lot of the production staff are Hammer veterans.
I agree - it has all the hallmarks of a Hammer,
Straight outta Compton
No Hammer people on this,but they are definitely aiming forthat style.
Your porf pict is adorable :)
A fabulous movie.
Enjoyed that - thanks
Love it thank you.
thank you for the upload that was a good movie might have to add to my favorites

Bring back hammer house of horror!!
Amen to that, Hammer WAS the best for horror, a genre they had down pat.
They tried that already in a film starring the late Christopher Lee and Hillary Swank, a few years ago
So Bet It, No Really They should
The lead actor shouted his way through his role.
😂IKR?! I still loved the movie though!
That was his character.
He had a lot to be worked up about!
Pretty good, especially for the period elements (I don't think I've ever seen the carriage blocks on a steep hill before).

This film was done on the cheap but well worth the money enjoyable romp

Excellent picture quality
good film
What an excellent film!
simple stories that grip your attn.
The gorgeous girl at the beginning is Edina Ronay from "Prehistoric Women". What a knock-out!
what knockers !
All that money and they cannot afford oil for the wheel chair

these type of people were notoriously stingy in some respects.
These auto generated subtitles are awesome! :)
A little Hammer knockoff not bad but why is everybody screaming at each other. That "Old Vic" training they have to hear you in the back of the theatre. Enjoyable.
Good movie but the plot has more twists than a pretzel.
Great movie ! When richard talked alone with the coronel i exected a scooby do end but i wasnt sure still

Not a bad costume gothic horror though it had some poor reviews on its release. Told that the movie was having production problems the producers ripped ten pages out of the shooting script and told the poor director to carry on !
Interesting, I really felt the ending was a bit rushed.
Now I know why.
Holy Sh#T what a vicious sword fight!
I was in need of this film..
Thank you!

all`s well , end`s well . welldone film.
Similar thematically to Hitchcock's "Rebecca (1940)." I doubt I'm first to point this out.
Where would British films of that era be without Francis de Wolff? The sort of character actor you never see these days.
The servant at 37:09 is the same guy who stars as the mad preist in The Omen.
This is a wonderful movie!
It is back when men were men and their women supported them thru hell or high water. Honor, valor and name are at stake, along with very mean and cruel things done by someone.
Great to see Jedikiah (the robot from The Tomorrow People - ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tomorrow_People ) remember that one? Essential viewing after school in the early '70s.
An amazing film , no , it's a gothic masterpiece.
reminded meself of a Hammer Film and I dare say the Blacksmith was in a Hammer film himself.
I watched something with a similar title recently, on Pornhub. The beginning even sounded the same.
Sooo many things to "notice" as this story moves on...see when they unhitch the 4 Big white horses after they hv pulled the coach on up the hill?
