Exploding monks....
16 August 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Six scientists arrive at the creepy Headstone Manor to investigate a strange phenomena which was the site of a mysterious massacre years earlier where 18 guests were killed in one night.

It turns out that the house is the place of a satanic cult lead by a minister monk who plans to kill the scientists who are inhabiting this house of Satan.....

This film sounded like such a good idea on paper. Kenny Everett, one of the funniest comedians of the eighties, joined by other well known British actors, written by Barry Cryer, and featuring Vincent Price. What on earth could go wrong? Virtually everything goes wrong, bar one joke involving a musical instrument and a toilet.

The story is poor, and the script is just one long list of unfunny innuendos that even a below average Carry on Film would be ashamed of.

The cast do their best with the material, but it doesn't work, and the whole thing falls flat.

This had so much potential too. Believe me this is one movie where the title is much better than the movie.
