Viewing Notes
Slipped another expiring title under the wire! Couldn’t pass up another opportunity to watch Oliver Reed ham it up on screen. And ham it up it does here. Very corny flick that juggles the comedy and horror rather unsuccessfully because neither really hit the right beats making for a tonally weird film. But that’s what makes this all the more fascinating akin to watching a train wreck unfold. Definitely not a good movie but truly so odd and offbeat I can’t help but like this. One I would totally revisit.
