Sensationally based on a 'true story', Hammer's The Stranglers of Bombay incorporates elements of the horror and thriller genres within an exotic adventure tale involving the murderous Kali-worshipping Thuggee cults in India during the early 1800s. Under Terence Fisher's masterful direction, and with a surprising degree of attention to historical detail, The Stranglers of Bombay presents a solid yarn while (naturally) highlighting the gruesome and horrific elements of the story. It set an impressive and intriguing precedent for Hammer's subsequent adventure-thrillers. (Powerhouse Films)

I really like movies from Hammer Studio, but this one, despite being directed by Terence Fisher, is one of those that disappointed me after a long time. Partly it's the quality of the image, but rather it's the story that didn't impress me and left me cold. It could have caused even bigger chaos in India, but for its time, it's still strong. The scene with the mongoose is great though. But as a whole, it's just nothing...
