Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Artivels Undescribable Perfection

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

maarck6 Saw this movie the first time in the early eighties when I saw it on the all-blackly owned channel 62 in Detroit. A channel that would show huge blocks of movies of all kinds; spirituals, westerns, sleazy horror, mysteries, black and white or color. It just didn't matter. Unfortunately, because of the generic title, this movie was lost for years. I saw it once on VHS then not again for thirty years, then not again until five years late, and now I get to see it again in an excellent print. What can I say about this supernatural slasher? British exploitation at its best with amputation, beheadings, impaling, poltergeistic activity, hypnotism, bloody murder, stabbings, garrotings, full frontal nudity, a s&m stripper, immolation by fire, beautiful English babes, a trans-generational curse, a levitating car, a plot with as much logic as anything by Dario Argente, stiff and bad acting, and Tricia Walsh as a ginger haired ditz who manages to steal every scene she's in. Ghod, what more can you want? Should be taught in film schools. Eight stars because I've never been less than entertained by this movie. A good double feature with Superstition.

Michael O'Keefe Low budget horror from Crown International filmed in Surrey, England. A young British heir James Garrick(John Nolan)presents to a gathering of friends a movie he produced about his family that over a hundred years earlier were cursed by a witch named Mad Molly. The witch's prophecy as she was burned at the stake continues as Garrick's friends, who curiously watched the movie, soon begin losing their lives and limbs by various horrible methods. It becomes very apparent the power of supernatural forces is not to be taken lightly. TERROR is filled with gore and bits of nudity. Not exactly memorable, but fun to watch. The cast also features Carolyn Courage, James Aubrey, Michael Craze, Tricia Walsh and Sarah Keller.

dolly_the_ye-ye_bird Right, so at first I was quite intrigued by this film. The beginning was a bit overdone and campy, but looked promising...B movie promising, that is. Then comes the realization that the beginning scenes are in fact a movie within a movie. Cue the ACTUAL movie. It seems as though the film maker is the descendant of the woman killed by the witch in the film we've just 'watched'. I was slightly intrigued again as this character was played by John Nolan, who I had just seen in an episode of Thriller, In The Footsteps of a Dead Man, from four years earlier which was quite good. Unfortunately, Terror just didn't live up to my hopes. The plot of the family curse by a witch is an old one and, while done well, can make a hell of a film, wasn't done in a convincing manner here in my opinion. The victims of the 'family' curse were mostly random bit players in the film not the 'descendants' who were supposedly 'cursed'. The deaths were nice and gory if you like that sort of thing. Unfortunately I generally don't unless the film is amazing and the gruesome deaths relevant...here, it's not and they aren't. There are many many scenes that just seem to go on for far too long in this film leaving you thinking, "Is this actually GOING somewhere or were they just padding the heck out of this movie?". The answer every time was, "No." and "Yes.", respectively. Then we get to the end...errr, the second 'end'. Literally, left me saying, "That's it? Really? That's the end? Really????

Woodyanders The angry and powerful spirit of an evil witch who was burned at the stake hundreds of years ago gets revived in modern times. She proceeds to exact a harsh and violent revenge from beyond the grave on the ancestors of her killers. Director Norman J. Warren, working from a witty script by David McGillivray, ably creates a creepy atmosphere, maintains a steady pace throughout, and stages the elaborate go-for-broke gruesome murder set pieces with considerable graphic aplomb ala Dario Argento (whose "Suspiria" was an obvious big influence on this film). Gleefully disgusting splatter highlights include two brutal stabbings, a garroting, a soft-core porn director being fatally beaned in the head with a studio light, a juicy decapitation, and a nice impalement on a sword. Other bracing bravura moments are all the inanimate objects in a studio coming to deadly life and a car being levitated. The sturdy cast all contribute solid performances, with especially praiseworthy work by John Nolan as a stuffy movie studio head, Carolyn Courage as the worried heroine, Glynnis Barber as a bubbly, lovely blonde actress, Milton Reid as a hulking nightclub bouncer, and Tricia Walsh as a vacuous redhead bimbo. Les Young's agile, polished cinematography, Ivor Staney's neatly moody'n'spooky synthesizer score, the engrossingly tawdry showbiz setting, and the uncompromisingly bleak nihilistic ending are all likewise up to par. Good, grisly fun.
