From Hammer’s fearless early ’70s era comes Demons of the Mind, a bleak, brutal and psychologically charged descent into inherited madness.
Directed by Peter Sykes and starring Hammer icon Paul Jones, this disturbing gothic horror explores the terrifying legacy of insanity passed from one generation to the next. After the violent death of a nobleman’s wife, Baron Zorn becomes obsessed with the belief that madness runs in his bloodline. Determined to prevent his children from inheriting the family curse, he confines them in brutal isolation — a decision that will unleash tragedy, violence and unspeakable horror.
Featuring powerful performances from Patrick Magee, Yvonne Mitchell and Michael Hordern, Demons of the Mind blends psychological terror with raw brutality, standing apart as one of Hammer’s most unsettling and emotionally charged films. Its themes of repression, inherited trauma and moral collapse make it a uniquely disturbing entry in the studio’s legendary catalogue.
Bold, brutal and deeply unsettling, Demons of the Mind remains one of Hammer’s most daring works — an essential restoration for collectors and fans of gothic and psychological horror alike.
