Vintage 70's cannibal horror with Lou Rawls singing...?, 17 December 2005
8/10
Author: TheatreX from Louisville, KY

I got this on DVD from Movies Unlimited, it was a bit pricey but i like this movie enough to have done this and I was not disappointed by the quality, which isn't top notch but light-years better than a bootleg I had bought online a couple years ago. It's a region 0 version and I checked the company on the back which is in Brazil but according to the website they sell computer parts? I guess if one were to find them they'd undermine the efforts of M.U. so to that I say whatever. NOW, about the movie, Laurence Harvey & his sister live in a big beach house and he invites young ladies in that never leave. Along comes a young hitch hiker (Meg Foster, before she looked too weird, it's those eyes, for sure). Of course she's invited in and fed (but what?) and then asked to spend the night. She hears noises and wanders down to the basement only to find Harvey down there with a meat cleaver, busy at work...oops. She does manage to get away but it's made out that she's on drugs and didn't really see anything. But she's not done poking around yet, no, uh uh. In the meantime Harvey picks up some hooker on the beach and brings her back to "model" for him, and THAT'S when this turns really gruesome, and gory, and actually kind of surprisingly disgusting for a movie directed by Laurence Harvey, I guess. This also features Stuart Whitman, John Ireland, and a few other familiar faces. I saw this on TV many years ago and I've searched high and low for it for years, and am glad to have at least a mostly decent print of it on DVD no less. There's a couple minor sound blips and evidence that there's old film used, like little scratches and stuff, but overall I was quite impressed by the quality, considering how hard it is to get one's mitts on this film. Anyway the film is an 8 out of 10, not for everyone but if you like creepy 70's horror flicks this is pretty darn good.
