Delivers on the flesh part, but not a very captivating movie experience. Trying too hard to shock and failed to build suspense.

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.

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.

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.

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.

From producer and director Pete Walker, (The Big Switch (1969), Die Screaming, Marianne (1971) and Cool It Carol! (1972)), this is a dark horror film that descends into moments of soft-core porn, which seemed to get the punters into cinemas at the time. It takes it's sweet time in getting going, but it does pay off at the end. Young actresses Carol Edwards (Luan Peters) and Julia Dawson (Jenny Hanley off Magpie) join a theatre group on the end of a pier, under the direction of Mike Archer (Ray Brooks), they're set to a show with fellow performers Simon (Robin Askwith), Sarah (Candace Glendenning), John (David Howey) and Australian actor Tony Weller (Tristan Rogers) in a production called The Flesh and Blood Show, a sort of British "Grand Guignol" show. But, it's not long before people start going missing in the night, and the cast and it's director learn the history of the theatre from locals Mrs. Saunders (Elizabeth Bradley) and Major Bell (Patrick Barr). Mike tries to convince local Inspector Walsh (Raymond Young), but to no avail, so they carry on with rehearsals, and the murders start again. It has it's moments, but there's alot of flesh and not alot of blood. It was a time when tits and bums could get people to the cinema. It has a good ensemble, but it builds up so much potential but you come away feeling very short changed indeed.
