anthony p Jack Jones plays a 1970s popstar who returns to the UK after a 6 year hiatus in the US with wife not to be Gail. On returning to the UK he learns of his impending divorce from Gail who is about to suffer a grisly end! Who is the murderer? Is it Jacks creepy agent? Could it be the old couple who are housekeepers at the Surrey mansion where Jack is holed up writing material for a comeback album? Inspired casting includes Pete Walker regular Sheila Keith as housekeeper Mrs. B and Bill Owen as Mr. B. Owen better known to UK television audiences as Compo off Last of the Summer Wine. Pete Walker is well known in my reviews as the seventies exploitation horror director and he doesn't disappoint in this little known film that probably last had a TV showing in the 1980s. Oh I almost forgot. A vintage 1976 white Lotus Esprit also has prominent screen time! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Okay, this is not a great movie, but it is darn fun and a nice novelty of having Jack Jones playing a singer. Pete Walker is one of the best directors of English Giallo and Sheila Keith is one of the creepiest actresses of all time. I think Robin Williams stole Mrs. Doubtfire from her performance in this spooky shocker. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Incredibly slow but the ending is fantastic. The definition of b-movie horror.

Jones plays an unlikely superstar singer (since when did '70s easy-listening acts sell six million copies?) whose return from a long hiatus is hampered when someone starts killing people in his inner circle. Suspects are set up with unsubtle calculation (one red herring is particularly ridiculous) and then killed off. Holly Palance has an especially thankless role as Jones' ex-wife who is brutally murdered at the start and then has her corpse repeatedly turn up in more and more mutilated form. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Creepy production by British veteran director Pete Walker.
