Dallas H My God! Alfred, what have you done?! In retrospect, the movie is cheesy. Michael Gough, also known commonly as Alfred from the early Batman movies, portrays a mad scientist who performs brain surgery on patients in a horrific asylum to fine-tune his ability to control the minds and bodies of other beings. It is a shlocky movie that I would categorize as campy, worthy of a moderate following of cult movie fans. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/23 Full Review Audience Member I was scrolling through Pluto TV And found thisLovely. Time capsule the 70s.It's very too campy but mostly I spent my watching time wonderi Chuckling. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member When I saw that Robin Askwith headed the cast of this British 70's horror flick I instantly thought of the brilliant bawdy comedies The Confessions series which he starred in and were delightfully mucky and low-brow. Perfect for the era. If Mr Askwith could prove a huge hit with the s*xploitation brigade surely he could score big when it came to another low brow form of entertainment, the horror film. Here he plays Jason Jones who works in the music industry but after his manager rips off one of his songs he decides to escape via a company offering getaway breaks ('Hairy Holidays'!) and heads away from London and the music scene. He meets a girl on a train and they get on handsomely. She is even going to the same 'health farm' that he is headed to. And so the adventure begins. Even the ticket collector at the station they arrive at is like someone from a Hammer horror film. However, this holiday destination is actually a hospital in which the residents are wayward hippies and permissive types who are then lobotomised.  The resulting adventure is part horror film, part groovy campathon which it accomplishes with relish. There is a cast of various oddball supporting characters that are just as entertaining as the main players and there are great touches such as the car fitted with a huge knife that shoots out to behead anyone brave enough to try and escape. This film captures a great time in British film when films were made for the young with their content being just as boundary transgressing as the youth of the day themselves. Hence genres such as bawdy, racy comedies and bloody (but humorous) horror was the order of the day. A golden era. As lurid as the paisley underpants Askwith wore in the Confessions movies. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not a hit, but there's something in it... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Gob-smackingly inept low budget British shocker, dreadful in virtually every department. The opening fifteen minutes will have you pining for the talents of Ed Wood and awe-struck at the number of appalling performances (particularly someone called Vanessa Shaw) and astonished that anyone ever thought this was fit to be released. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Has a good mood and style for a comic-horror, but it's not quite as well executed as it could be.
