I know there are some experienced photographers here, so I have a QUESTION.

I have several rolls of exposed film, 35mm and 120, all of it B&W ISO 400 Ilford, that has been in a freezer since exposure for, in some cases, upwards of 20 years. Is there any chance that this stuff could be successfully processed today? I had dreams of building a darkroom long ago, but then life beat the ever-loving piss out of me and now here I am with no darkroom and a freezer full of film.

I’m now in a position where making my own prints is still out of the question, but I could probably swing processing negatives. I’m sure they’d be degraded, but is it worth the expense and effort to try to develop these ancient rolls of film?
