4.0 out of 5 starsThe best single performance in a horror film. By far.
By rampton uk on 14 Sept. 2012
Format: DVD
This film is, more or less, a video nasty. However, whilst neither a pleasant nor glossy production, the acting and script are generally good. The fact that this is an exploitation piece designed to produce as much offensive gore as the censor would allow does indeed leave a nasty taste in the mouth (and does credit to the poster), but this fault is rendered almost irrelevant by the outstanding performance of Sheila Keith as the lead character Dorothy Yates.

Almost entirely unknown outside of those interested in Pete Walker films (or those that have an intimate knowledge of the bit parts in Britsh sitcoms that she otherwise filled), Sheila Keith is an absolute revelation. She manages to convey the most terrifying screen presence as the apprently kind old lady Mrs.Yates, whose mood can turn on a sixpence to become a vindictive maniacal killer. The most chilling moments are not when she has the drill (these scenes are in fact wholly unnecessary) but when she performs tarot readings aside a cup of tea and a chintzy tablecloth. You may now ask yourself, "Can a performance really be so very chilling? From a 1970's cheapie?" The answer I can assure you is, "Yes."

Not by accident is Sheila Keith venerated by those few who have seen Pete Walker's films, not by accident was she chosen to reprise this role in the parody 'Dr.Terrible's House of Horrible': hers is indeed a remarkable performance. You will have to wade through some muddy colour and some gore to get to it, but don't count yourself as a horror film fan until you have.

5.0 out of 5 starsFabulous old school terror !!
By Brett Cook on 2 Aug. 2012
Format: DVD
This film had me and my then girlfriend scared out of our wits at the cinema back in the 70s. I had to buy it when i found out it was available on dvd. I have to say i thoroughly enjoyed revisiting this classic horror film. No fancy special affects in this one, just a spine chilling plot mixed in with some blood and guts and some fantastic character acting from the cast. This is Pete Walkers best film, no wonder we were both petrified back then.

1.0 out of 5 starsMY SISTER IS A BIT OF AN EXTROVERT
By The Movie Guy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 14 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD
Edmund (Rupert Davies) and Dorothy (Sheila Keith) have been released from a mental institution, their home for 18 years. They are cured from killing and eating people...almost. The oldest daughter Jackie (Deborah Fairfax ) cares for her 15 year old half-sister Debbie (Kim Butcher) who is a bit wild like her mother. Jackie tells Debbie their parents are dead, while she sneaks out at night to visit them with an offering from the butcher store.

The film was on the slow side. The gore factor is minimal. Some blood splatter and an occasional red meat special effect. I was bored for most of the film.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Fair DVD transfer.

4.0 out of 5 starsA historical horror treat
By Amazon Customer on 30 May 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
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?

4.0 out of 5 stars"They said she was better"!
By ciaran moore on 1 Dec. 2009
Format: DVD
The movie starts with a flashback to 1957 where we see a young,just proir to fawlty towers,Andrew Sachs visiting a trailer in an out of season theme park.Then we see a courtroom and a judge sentencing a married couple to years in an institution,for murder,until they are cured.It moves to present day(1974)and into the city to find a young girl in a night club and the cycle begins again.I do not want to spoil this for anyone ,so i wont say much more than this is a genuinely creepy and horrific movie.It has brilliant performances from,Pete Walker regular,Sheila Keith and,the always reliable,Rupert Davies(TVs Maigret,Witchfinder general,Dracula has risen from his grave,Waterloo).There are some extras namely a commentary by director,Pete Walker,and his regular cameraman,Peter Jessop,a Pete Walker trailer gallery and a poster gallery. As i have only recently seen this movie for the first time i cant really comment on whether it is a cut or uncut version but during the commentary the director mentions that it was cut by the censors before the public had seen it.It still was violent enough for its purpose.A surprising gem.

superb cast, great story made by the low budget franchises that made British makers promote talent above effects, style above salaciousness.
