BONUS EP 446 - DEMON'S OF THE MIND (1972) BLURAY REVIEW - RELEASE DATE 6th APRIL 2026

Duncan is back looking at one of the most overlooked entries in the Hammer Film Productions catalogue. Demons of the Mind (1972) has steadily grown in reputation as a bold, unsettling and genuinely ambitious piece of gothic horror. Directed by Peter Sykes and written by Christopher Wicking, the film trades traditional monsters for psychological decay, repression and inherited madness. Robert Hardy delivers a powerhouse performance as the deeply disturbed Baron Zorn, supported by the volatile energy of Shane Briant and Gillian Hills, with Patrick Magee adding a layer of intensity that pushes the film into darker territory. Dismissed on release, it’s now widely appreciated by fans for its ambition—its striking visuals, uncomfortable themes and willingness to push Hammer beyond its comfort zone.This new Collector’s Edition gives the film a long-overdue reappraisal with a brand-new 4K Dolby Vision restoration that highlights its rich, atmospheric cinematography. Packed with both new and archival extras, it’s a comprehensive release for collectors and newcomers alike. Features include: 4K UHD & Blu-ray discsNew 4K Dolby Vision restorationMultiple audio commentariesNew featurettes including Evil In the Blood & Blood Will Have BloodInterviewsStills and lobby card galleriesTrailer64-page booklet with essays and original press materialBrand-new artwork Two posters & a release date of 6th April 2026.The grading follows the Netflix rating style of 1 = Hated It, 2 = Didn’t Like It, 3 = Liked It, 4 = Really Liked It & 5 = Loved ItDemon's of the Mind:Duncan: 4.5Thanks to Studio Canal & Fetch PR for the review copy of this movie.Our new RSS Feed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/s/13ba6ef0/podcast/rss⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out the show on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Anchor⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TuneIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stitcher Radio⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Please leave us feedback on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠iTunes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, [email protected] and follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.TIMECODE DEMON’S OF THE MIND BLURAY REVIEW00:00:00 Intro 00:04:04 Unboxing00:05:10 Demon’s of the Mind Review00:10:48 Special Features00:16:37 Closing
