A historical horror treat,
By
This review is from: Frightmare [DVD] [1974] (DVD)
As a fan of early 70s British horror I had high expectations and this certainly filled all my graves of deathly infatuation.
The characters are well drawn and develop well through a darkly suspensful and well told storyline. You are genuinly fascinated in the relationship dynamics of the elderly couple and have sympathy for their elder daughter. I especially like the way the film has a depth that constantly questions your responses to each character. You feel thrust into the role of an investigator into its dark heart as opposed to the usual passive voyeurism. The sanity of all characters is in constant question, not just the woman released from hospital..... The atmosphere created by the script and photography is superb. I find returning to a past era usually helps to evoke a haunting feel anyway but, besides this, tension is carefully built and plotted throughout, culminating in an effective and satisfying closing pay off scene. Overall this certainly does not disappoint. Its one of those quirky understated horrors that quietly lodges into your brain long after the lights are out and occasionally nudges your unconscious. Why can't the endless torture and set piece obsession of modern day horror learn from movies like this?

Good seventies horror,
By Freddie Valentine "lordfreddievalentine" (Berkshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frightmare [DVD] [1974] (DVD)
This slightly bonkers film is a classic of early seventies horror. Not many films feature a murderous, cannabalistic granny weilding a power drill! Much of it is typical seventies acting, which I like and the ending is one that not many would expect.

Frightfest,
By
This review is from: Frightmare [DVD] [1974] (DVD)
The original FRIGHTMARE i saw at the cinema in the 70's was a classic British horror,claustrophobic,grim,very bloody and morbid and frighteningly real with fine performances by Sheila Keith and Rupert Davis,Keith is a cannibalistic granny figure who reads peoples tarot cards and lets them stay for lunch... with them on the menu,she turns very nasty at the drop of a hat Rupert Davis plays her husband who covers up her attrocities.I intended buy the vhs version wich is heavily censored,so,i preordered the dvd,i hope the dvd release is the full monty because theres no excuses to censor this masterpiece in the days of HOSTEL and SAW.
