Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Paul Evans Hand on heart I'd have to say this is possibly the best, or at least in the top three of the Carry on Series. It is hilarious, it is unique, it feels so different to every other Carry on film, there is a definite newness to it, as a stand alone film it's superb. The plot is like no other Carry on film, a sinister family, taking young girls and turning them into shop dummies, more like a Hammer from then a Carry on.The newness I mentioned is provided by Harry H Corbett and Fenella Fielding, even though she's appeared in Regardless she still felt new. Both are so good, they have some truly funny moments, but in Screaming it's Kenneth Williams that shines, for me this was one of his best performances, he is just so funny, 'Frying tonight!' Smaller roles for some of the supporting cast, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Jon Pertwee, but each performs brilliantly.Funny throughout, too many moments to pick out a best bit, but the scenes with Odd bod and Junior are really funny.Fenella looked incredible, her figure was outstanding, and that dress made her look incredible, coupled with that voice she was perfectly cast in the role.The production values are great, straight out of Hammer horror, as it the music. It's a classic comedy, the film of my childhood. 10/10
FilmBuff1994 Carry On Screaming is a very good movie with great humor and a well thought out storyline.I would say it was the best in the Carry On series out of the ones I've seen.I saw the film because I'm trying to watch all of the films in a countdown I watched called the 50 Greatest Comedy Films where Carry On Screaming was 49 and the only Carry On on the list.A woman goes missing while out in the woods with her boyfriend,the boyfriend and two detectives investigate with only piece of evidence being a hairy finger from where she was sitting.It turns out that she was stolen from a dead man brought back to life by his flirty sister where they turn people into wax figures and also clone 500 year old werewolf like creatures which is where the hairy finger came from.
wadechurton This is one I remember seeing as a kid and being most amused. Horror and comedy together? That was cool. Watched it again the other night and it seemed distinctly lacklustre. Yes, horror and comedy can work together (An American Werewolf In London, for instance), but there are too many faults here and the movie suffers for it. For one thing the dialog this time around conspicuously lacked inspiration. Not only were the jokes a bit lame, but they were stretched too thinly to cover the screenplay. Neither Sid James nor Barbara Windsor appeared in this one, so in come Harry H. Corbett and Fenella Fielding. Fielding made an acceptable saucy comic vamp(ire) but Corbett's occasionally overdone mugging is a distraction. Elsewhere, Charles Hawtree may well have had a four-square liquid lunch before filming his little cameo as a lavatory attendant, while Kenneth Williams pretty much phones it in, set on 'loud, campy delivery' and turned up to 10. The actors do what they can, but their characters aren't as finely drawn as many previous 'Carry On' efforts, and the energetic-but-hollow result looks a bit 'tryhard'. Unfortunate, because the movie had a higher budget and a better 'look' than the 'Carry On' norm, and the central concept was sound. It's not actually all bad, just that it's so undernourished script-wise. Considering the frequency at which entries in this film series were cranked out (this was the twelfth 'Carry On' in eight years) and that '..Screaming!' was the first of two to be produced in 1966, it's probable that the movie marked an incidence of creative fatigue.
petersj-2 The chemistry between Fenella Fielding and Harry H Corbett is outstanding. They just sparkle on screen together. She was a remarkable performer and added class to every movie she did. I love her sexy sultry voice. Harry H Cobett is as he always was perfect. he looks as though he had been doing these movies for years. He was a brilliant performer. I had to good fortune of seeing him on stage when he came here to Australia to star in the JCW production of Neil Simons LAST OF THE RED HOT LOVERS. He was brilliant. Intentional or other wise it was a great idea to change the cast and introduce guests and new faces every now and then. I must say I prefer Harry to Sid James, even though Sid was a fine performer in his own right.The rest of the cast are great. I had not taken much notice of Amanda Douglas in previous movies but her performance in this is quite delightful. Jim Dale of course is as sexy as ever and a fine performer. His physical comedy is quite brilliant. Its the first one for Peter Butterworth. I really liked him in this and his drag is pretty good.Joan Sims is the wife from hell and gives a suitably nasty performance. Its rather funny to note that British people slept wit potties under their beds. I wonder if they still do? I guess so. The film looks great. I love the opening credits. We don't see much of Charles Hawtry in this but he gives a much straighter performance in this and its fun. It looks rather like a Hammer film. Kenneth Williams hams it up superbly as always. Its a bright clever film. I gave it an eight.
