Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com So glacial and mild, it's a wonder what the production was actually trying to achieve with its emphasized but underutilized genre elements. Rated: D+ Mar 23, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

nick s Delivers on the flesh part, but not a very captivating movie experience. Trying too hard to shock and failed to build suspense. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/23 Full Review kevin c A group of actors culminate at an old building at the pier to live and rehearse for an upcoming production of the Flesh and Blood show, however the actors begin being picked off by an unknown assailant. Pretty decent film by Pete Walker which was the blueprint for future slasher films. Fun watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A Small Brit-Horror Exploitation Flick, Which Mixes Genres, But To No Success. This Has A Ten Little Indian Type Plot, With An Italian Giallo Style. It's Not A Good Film, The Plot Is Very Basic, It's Predictable, Extremely Easy To Work Out Who The Killer Is & Features Some Terrible Performances. What Makes The Film Worse Is The Fact The Script Isn't Cheesy, Which In Turn Makes The Film Seem Longer And Harder To Sit Through. However I Kept Watching As I Was Intrigued And Wanted To Know Who The Killer Was. The Original Release Had A 3-D Scene Towards The End Of The Film, Which Has Since Been Converted To 2-D. A Horrible Movie, That With The Right People Behind It, Could've Turned It Into A Much Better Film And Maybe Even A Classic. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member British sexploitation horror, although low on the blood part indicated in the title as well as a cogent storyline. it just gets weird towards the end which is the only part of the movie filmed in 3D. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Gruesome goings on in a largely abandoned theater start to become very real in this Pete Walker shocker, and I have to say that this was much more in line with what I was expecting from this director. Worth a rental. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the obviously limited budget and the directors insistence on showing as much naked female flesh as possible I actually thought this was a good little concept for a horror film and the setting (a diused theatre on the end of a pier) worked very well. Of course the whole thing is ridiculous and the so-called 'acting' of this improvisational theatre company is hilarious but you get the feeling that with a little more time, money and effort this could have been a really good British horror. It plays a bit like a mixture of Christie's 'Ten Little Indians' and an Italian Giallo film and that's no bad thing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
