4.0 out of 5 stars silly but fun, 15 Sep 2008
By IanW "ianw" (Sunderland, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Vincent Price and Christopher Lee co-star in this pair of British-made not really golden oldy horrors from 1969.

In Edgar Allan Poe's (oh no it isn't!) The Oblong Box, Vincent's brother has been disfigured by an African curse. Naturally Vincent keeps him in a locked room and when he gets out, boy is he mad! He's so mad he goes on a rampage of swiping peoples' throats with a rubber knife smeared in red paint -sorry, throat slitting, though you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference. His sex drive hasn't disappeared either. And he's so hideous that grown men faint at the sight of him (in the movie, that is. Anyone else would note bad case of acne and barely bother with a second glance.) Oh, and it's set in Victorian times.

Scream and Scream Again (the title, because there is no other apparent explanation, comes from a guy who wakes up in hospital, finds he's a leg missing and screams; wakes up again, second leg gone,screams; wakes up, arm gone, screams; and so on until someone opens a cupboard and there's his head, audience screams -well, I suppose they did in 1969). The plot keeps jumping from the hunt for a rapist/vampire/slasher/killer to a European fascist state (it's set in the then-present day) for various obscure reasons. Vincent Price is a doctor, Christopher Lee (who was a doctor in The Oblong Box) is a senior government official. At least 15 minutes of the running time is spent on a car chase and on-foot pursuit of the rapist/vampire/slasher/killer for no real reason other than to pad out the running time but it passes the time nicely in between plot developments. Everything is tied up by the end, thank goodness as I was getting confused. And all policemen and women smoke a lot.

Art these are not, good they are not, fun, well if you're in the right mood, these are.
