Starring horror icon Vincent Price & comedy legend Kenny Everett this camp British horror comedy is a hugely mixed bag.
It tells the story of a group of scientists and experts in their field who investigate the mysterious Blood House where 18 people were savagely murdered in one night.
When the jokes are on point the movie is really enjoyable, sadly too many jokes fall flat and leave the movie more of a bust than it should have been. With Price & Everett this should have by all rights been a cult classic.
To it's credit the film has a lot of imagination, from original death scenes to some fantastic satirical humour!
However for every laugh there are three or four poor jokes ranging from silly to cringe inducing.
A harmless effort and ahead of it's time, but comes across a bit rushed.
The Good:
Price and Everett are excellent
Very inventive kills
Some great gags
Well scored
The Bad:
Not as funny as it should have been
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Kenny Everett should have broke Hollywood
