After waiting so long to see it, I quite enjoyed the picture.

Political correctness has kept it off the air since then. A couple of my younger acquaintances who consider themselves Hammer completists tell me they still haven't seen it.

Hammer films usually excelled at looking lush on cheap budgets, but not Stranglers. It looks like a Monogram film. Nothing looks like India. 2) The film seemed strangely reminiscent of Tarzan and the Leopard Men.

And it does have a cheapness about it, not the color and attractiveness of Hammer Films, thumbs down on this one, IMHO anyways.

Intrigued, with a title like that I have to expect a cheap budget...is telling. I'm interested in how they mitigate it.
