Title: The horror!!!!
Review: Michael Gough stars in another awful cheapo British horror film. This one is slightly--slightly--better than Konga, Gough's horrible giant ape movie, if only because there is not as much reliance on horrible special effects. But it is really bad. Gough shouts and screams constantly, giving a truly terrible, artificial performance. I know he is a good actor, so he obviously was not taking this role seriously; but it's sort of cynical to take the money and then turn in such a bad performance. The perky, young actresses set new lows in bad acting, but then they were not hired for their acting abilities. The script is idiotic. Among other things, why would a shrewd old lady attempt to blackmail a mad killer in her deserted shop while he has a pair of ice tongs in his hands?! She might as well wear a "kill me" sign! A really shoddy, depressing film. Run for your lives from this one, folks.
