Starring: Bryant Haliday as The Great Vorelli Yvonne Romain as Marianne Horn William Sylvester ... Mark English This 1964 low-budget English horror film tells the tale of a ventriloquist whose dummy has a life of its own. I know there have been many movies on that same theme and, well, this is yet another one – however, this is one of the earliest ones, before the theme became so totally hackneyed. I find ventriloquist’s dummies with a life of their ... ...sat down to watch this film. The Great Vorelli, a dapper-looking older gentleman sporting a fine full Van Dyke beard as seems to often be the case with such characters in the 50s and early 60s, is a successful stage hypnotist and ventriloquist who performs with a dummy called Hugo which bears a disturbing resemblance to Michael Jackson.

Review of Devil Doll (DVD)
Advantages: This is one of the best films that Cushing and Lee made together. A classic. Disadvantages: Some of the dubbed voices are a bit distracting.
...Ridley Scott's Alien there was Horror Express. The claustrophobic confines of a train in place of the Nostromo as the hunting ground for a killer of extra-terrestrial origin.
This Fantastically eerie gothic horror, with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee at their British best, is only let down by some of the dubbed voices. This is a minor quibble (it was an anglo-spanish production after all!)

...same problem.
Cannibal Apocalypse is a terrible tease of a film, primarily because there is only one brief cannibal scene, not a horde of cannibals as you may expect from the title.. The "Cannibals" are suffering from a condition closer to rabies than anything else. They don't eat there victims, although they do bite them with the intention of ending life. Apocalypse was one of the first titles to ... ...way. His first movie was Cannibal Apocalypse but he did go on to make a series of other illicit horror titles City Of The Living Dead, Cannibal Ferox, The House On The Edge Of The Park.

low budget films, you either love them or hate them, i think this one is the funniest one ive seen, its not even slightly scary infact it is prehaps the funniest film ive ever seen in my life, basically it is about a serial killer snowman, he kills people with carrots, iccles, snowballs and even freezing over a swimming pool. if you you have a spare few quid and want a good laugh buy this, the acting is tacky the props are cheap, the deaths are funny, ...
Advantages: It has Comic qualities Disadvantages: Boring, Dull,Plastic no well known actors in it either
The story is about an accident at a special lab, there is an explosion and the cobra escapes of course it's larger than it's supposed to be because of the testing that had been going on in the lab and I think if I remember correctly that due to the explosion some chemicals get released on it that make it grow in size, it is then down to the local towns doctor and a woman (sorry I can't remember what she did she might have been part of the local police ... ...love interest to try and catch it once it starts running amok in the local town and nearby woodland and killing people they are only aware that it is a snake due to the two large puncture wounds that they find on the vicitms. The only good thing in it for me was Mr Miagi from Karate Kid but he does'nt come into it until nearer the end when they are trying to catch the killer snake. The only thing about it for me is that I hate poisonous snakes and ...
