All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

Scream and Scream Again (1970)

Starring: Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Peter Sallis
Director: Gordon Hessler

Premise:
Police follow a serial killer to a scientists' lab where they find a scientist creating super spies.

My Take:
What hurts this film the most is bad directing decesions. There are several longs (and not needed) takes thoughtout the movie including a never ending chase scene and laughable fight scene with Vincent Price. It was boring and more substance is needed. I can only watch the great Christopher Lee ride in a police car and say "he's heading this way" so many times before I get irrated. Good thing the plot kept me guessing in between as it's very different and goes all over the place.

Rating: Warning
