Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

wurliguy I find this movie very interesting. I love the split screen. There is plenty to look at and plenty of story to pay attention to.The entire cast is excellent in their roles.The Coronado Hotel is a fabulous setting for this film.The music is reminiscent of a silent film with true theaters organ accompaniment. The music being the original theaters organ score for The Phantom of the Opera, and it works completely. The action scenes and the organ music match up perfectly. The modern music works well too.This is an very unusual and unique movie that deserves a look, but unlike most of todays films where I see a lot of people texting through the whole thing, Wicked-Wicked works best if you pay attention to both screens. This film has a lot of story to tell.Although this movie contains violent murders, it is still quite a lot of fun. Think Satire, not comedy.This had to be difficult to film,, direct, edit, and keep everything flowing as well as it does. It is Technically brilliant.This film is from the past, when variety in entertainment was the norm, people took chances, directors experimented, and CGI had yet to be thought of.

lazarillo This movie has several strikes against it from the outset. First off, is the split-screen ("duo-vision") gimmick, which is effective when used sparingly by filmmakers like Brian DePalma (or going WAY back silent French filmmaker Abel Gance), but is pretty annoying when used extensively (check out the ill-advised sequel "More American Graffitti"), and likely to give many viewers a splitting headache. Then there is the killer who is stalking a seaside hotel. The movie not only makes no attempt to hide his identity from the start, but the clues he leaves along the way are so incredibly obvious that you want to scream at the protagonist (a dimwitted, womanizing security guard)for not being able to figure out who he is. Finally there's the wretched theme song ("Wicked, wicked, that's the ticket. . .") that was apparently actually sung by actress Tiffany Bolling, who should have stuck to stripping off in bad movies like this (and speaking a stripping off, Bolling takes her usual gratuitous shower in this movie behind a particularly opaque shower curtain, just to add insult to injury).Despite all this though, I kind of enjoyed this movie. It has an enjoyably nasty sense of humor, and only in the 1970's could anyone possibly get away with making a wrongheaded experiment in cinematic ineptitude like this and still have it backed by a major studio (MGM). As for those who find this misogynistic or offensive, check out a couple other Tiffany Bolling vehicles/feminist treatises "The Candy Snatchers" and "Centerfold Girls" sometime!

longtallgibbs This movie was funny as hell if you have the right sense of humor. Ahead of its time along with Private Parts which was playing with it in a double feature back in the early seventies. Worked at the theater it was playing in. Saw it at least 10 times in one week.Would love to see it again. Love the ending as the cop urges the killer to jump. Also the part where Jason whacks the Mother Superior from the Flying Nun. The organist was great also. I cannot exactly remember if she cracks her knuckles or burps when she pauses. Also love the flashback scenes of Jason being molested. A Classic for cult movie lovers. I think it should be remade with myself in the title role.

ptb-8 Gruesome serial killer schlock from the once mighty MGM before It remembered it had a treasure box of classics to cut up into docos, this is the sort of awful film major studios make today. Sort of SCREAM meets HOTEL (which indeed might be a good idea to a suit in Hollwood right about ...now).....using the dual image or cinemasope cut in half, it rendered the viewer dizzy by reel 2.. .......... ....when the girl in the bikini gets the bread knife in the guts over and over and over and over and over....just like they want you to enjoy today (WOLF CREEK). Maybe Tarantino could remake it on that possibility alone and we can laugh as illiterate critics label it 'cool' and dear Quentin can enjoy putting more imagery of mutilated females on the wide screen. Anyway.....it is all there in 1973 in gory banal grossness. Whoever said it should be DVD reissued with a co feature of NIGHT OF THE LEPUS is right. Stabbings and rabbits. Sounds very Multiplex 2006 to me.
