    Long before it served as a set piece in John Landis’ , or the home of a hellish monster in Christopher Smith’s , the London Underground was home to a tribe of cannibals in Gary Sherman’s . Released in 1972 and set largely on the Piccadilly Line, it sees American student Alex (David Ladd) and his girlfriend Patricia (Sharon Gurney) caught up in a police investigation after they stop to help an unconscious man – James Manfred, OBE – on the Russell Square platform. Something sinister lurks within the tunnels, and it’s snatching unsuspecting passengers. Inspector Calhoun (Donald Pleasance) is convinced that Alex and Patricia are to blame. When Manfreds disappears, Christopher Lee’s snooty MI5 officer Stratton-Villiers is called in and seems suspiciously keen to close the case.
