| User ReviewCountess NWatchable but quite slow and not scary in the slightest. |
| User ReviewColin FDame Flora Robson and Beryl Reid are elderly sisters with a secret in their cellar - a literary chestnut served up for quite muted shocks here. Nothing very original or brilliant but the lead actresses give the enterprise a touch of class and this is perfectly acceptable. Look out for Roberta Tovey (Susan in the Peter Cushing 'Doctor Who' films) who very early on makes a brief appearance as a scream-and-run-away girl. |
| User ReviewKarsh DDespite its short comings, this cult horror is quite tense at times. Two sisters keep their mentally disturbed brother locked in a cellar, but he gets out..... |
| User ReviewCharlie Cun film d'epouvante anglais avec des grands-meres qui boivent le the. - que se passe t-il Joyce ? ais-je mis trop d'huile dans l'assaisonnement ? - chut ! j'ai entendu un bruit. on nous observe. |
| User ReviewThe MSweet soundtrack, but a pretty crappy movie. |
| User ReviewPaul DThis is a moody horror tale from the 70's, but one that lacks any real scares. It mainly suffers from a lack of pace born out of the fact the emphasis is placed too much on the dialogue between two dotty old ladies. |
| User ReviewMark DNot much kop at all really. Seemed quite amateurish at times and the scares were poorly done. I expected better. |
| User ReviewStephen Snot very good to be honest, not scary at all |
| User ReviewStuart KProduced by Tigon British Film Productions, and directed by James Kelley, (from TV's Bootsie and Snudge and Our Man at St. Mark's), this is a very schlocky horror that is quite slow moving and takes it's sweet time in getting going. It promises a lot, but most of it's suspense doesn't begin until it's nearly too late. Which is a shame, considering it has a good cast and all. At an Army base in Lancashire, there have been killings of soldiers by what appears to be an animal, Sgt. Young (John Kelland) brings in Superintendent Paddick (T.P. McKenna) to investigate. At a house on the edge of the army base perimeter live two elderly sisters Ellie (Beryl Reid) and Joyce Ballantyne (Flora Robson), who live quiet lives, and keep to themselves. Ellie is always nostalgic for the good old days of their childhood, but Joyce is domineering, claiming their childhood wasn't as good as she remembers it. They're visited with groceries by Corporal Alan Marlow (John Hamill), but the sisters have a dark secret... It's a very silly and grainy horror film, the only good thing going for it are the performances, but something like this is screaming to be gorier and nastier, but it isn't, it's suggestive but that's it. Oh, and look out for Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard off Emmerdale.) |
