steve d @RT35616104 07/17/2020 A laughable rip off. See more 09/03/2011 Entertaining rubbish featuring Mike Raven (one time DJ who desperately wanted to be the next Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee - unfortuantely he couldn't act). See more 06/07/2011 First movie I ever rented . . .May 7, 1982 for my 11th Birthday Sleepover Party . . . IT SUCKS . . . for less than two minutes at the BITTER END of the film you see "the phoniness" on the front cover. One to Avoid: and this is The Master Speaking. Heed my words. -- NO . . .you be your own judge, for Pete's Sake! See more 12/06/2010 Very decent British 'who done it' horror flick from 1971. About an insane recluse sculptur/artist, named Victor, who is obsessed with capturing the female form in his work, no matter what it takes. Stars the infamous occultist pirate radio DJ Mike Raven who mysteriously gave up on acting shortly after the making of this little seen gem to become a (get this) SCUPLTUR. Also co-stars a young Ronald Lacey (melting face from the ending of Raiders of the Lost Ark) as Victors alcoholic son. I really liked his role, seemed like a solid chap to me. Recommended for fans of obscure, odd ball 70's horror. See more 09/23/2009 A forgotten British horror film from the early 1970's, the sort you would see on a Grindhouse double-bill. It's a cheap as chips affair, (Hammer-lite is the best way to decribe it), but it's well made and quite intriguing too, plus it has the debut of a Radio 1 presenter who embarked on an all too brief acting career. Set in a remote house on the Cornwall coast, it has sculptor Victor Clare (Mike Raven) having a few people over to discuss the sale of some of his works. They include Jack Davies (James Bolam), Victor's son Michael (Ronald Lacey) and his wife Jane (Beth Morris). While they're staying at the house, people start vanishing suddenly, Michael is a bit of a drunk, and has a row with his wife, then she vanishes one night in the car, and then Michael goes missing too. They start to suspect Victor, who is a reclusive eccentric, who uses a nearby tin-mine to create his sculptures. It's very silly towards the end, but for a low budget film, it's quite effective, the ending lets the side down though, but it does have a good cast in the film. See more 09/20/2009 Rather disappointing horror film as mysterious sculptor turns his models into bronze sculptures after having his wicked way with them- or at least tries it on - the filthy beast. But the film suffers badly with the poor editing and score. Still having seen pics of the cast I'm happy that Ronald Lacey was in Raiders as I'd knew I had seen him before!!
