In stark contrast to the first half of the decade, the late 1990s ushered in a profound cultural shift that celebrated all things British. While many wished for an end to the overused phrase “Cool Britannia” due to it being silly, Macabre Mallet Productions seized the opportunity presented by the resurgence of British cinema.

At the forefront of this new era were two emerging talents perfectly aligned with the evolving zeitgeist.

Talulah Drummond, hailing from a distinguished lineage as the daughter of the 7th Marquess of Bumbleton-On-Moor, quickly gained notoriety. Her ability to effortlessly down a pint of lager while showcasing her ample cleavage earned her a prominent place in the pages of popular men’s magazines.

Cordelia Crompton, on the other hand, came from more modest beginnings as the daughter of actor Carl Crompton, known for occasional appearances on the ITV series “The Bill.” Despite her lack of formal acting training, Cordelia secured several roles, mastering the quintessential ‘English Rose’ accent.

Cordelia’s casting typically favored the more refined roles, a testament to her ability to embody sophistication. In contrast, Talulah, an actual posh person, often found herself cast in more common roles. This was due to the fact she once downed a pint of lager and burped, which was widely reported in the tabloids as an example of how down to earth she is and what a great set of tits she has.

This spine-tingling masterpiece never graced the silver screen, making its humble debut on VHS to minimal fanfare. Yet, it wasn’t until a year later that its true potential was unlocked, as it became the very first Macabre Mallet film to be released on the groundbreaking DVD format.

Intrigued viewers flocked to acquire this haunting tale, not only to showcase the unparalleled video quality of a young woman’s frantic flight through the eerie corridors of a forsaken castle, clad in nothing but her underwear but also to revel in the spine-tingling clarity of her blood-curdling screams.

Cordelia Crompton is Tess, a woman who, with no nearby Travelodge available , agrees to meet up with her boyfriend in the desolation of an ancient castle for sex. Their romantic escapade, however, takes a sinister turn when dormant malevolence reawakens with a thirst for blood. As the line between desire and dread blurs, Tess no longer wants to get off, she just wants to get out!

An ecological horror which if made today would be described as ‘woke nonsense’ by someone crying because they have to drive 20 mph down a short road.

A scientist, both evil and mad in equal measures, unlocks the terrifying ability to manipulate the weather itself. With each cataclysmic event he engineers, he pushes humanity closer to the brink of chaos. Only Barbara, the unassuming Breakfast TV weather presenter portrayed by the talented Cordelia Crompton, stands between him and the impending apocalypse.

Macabre Mallet enthusiasts find themselves divided over the classification of this gem. Is it truly a horror movie, or does its heart-pounding suspense mean it’s more of a thriller? Some argue that the looming threat of nature’s fury mirrors the sinister aura of an unknown malevolence lurking in the shadows, an element that undeniably treads the line of horror. Perhaps the true monster in this tale isn’t the evil and mad scientist , but humanity itself, heedlessly courting disaster.

Jocelyn Fitzroy returns to make her final Macabre Mallet appearance in this entertaining legal horror movie

Fitzroy takes on the role of Jennifer, a legal prodigy who’s quickly climbing the ranks in a prestigious law firm. There’s just one unique twist to her job – her clients exclusively comprise the demon populace residing on Earth.

When the notorious demon known as Mildred NunSlayer faces allegations of torching a centuries-old nunnery and its neighbouring orphanage, she vehemently claims her innocence and Jennifer is called upon to defend her.

Can Jennifer trust a demon with a less-than-angelic history, or is she being masterfully manipulated by a creature who, to be fair, is known for her disdain of nuns?

Former socialite Talulah Drummond makes her acting debut, showcasing her versatility in portraying a socialite.

In the glittering halls of high society, Debutantes are meeting untimely ends at the annual Society Ball, and Arabella Wentworth-Huntington-Beaumont-Sinclair (played by Talulah Drummond) finds herself thrust into a deadly game. Arabella must unveil the killer’s identity before she becomes their next victim.

The movie was highly praised, particularly from “PHWOAR!” magazine., who even provided a guide on the day of the DVD release, revealing precisely when to hit pause for a tantalising glimpse of Talulah Drummond in the nude.
