Slow-moving but sympathetic gorefeast with chills , thrills , ghastly events and lots of blood . It displays the classic plot about a mad doctor performing astonishing brain experiments resulting in fateful consequences . It blends all kinds of usual Horror genre ingredients such as a mad doctor , patients turned into zombies , cerebral experiments , a deformed monster and anything else . Nice acting by Michel Gough as Dr Storm who's using the guests for surgical and horrible mind-control experiments . Though Gough never achieved on the small screen and silver screen what he did in the theater , Gough's career in television and movies spanned sixty-plus years over eight decades. Michael Gough , who died at age 94 , had a long and prolific career. He even became a legendary figure of the terror genre in films as Horrors of the Black Museum , The Corpse , The House in the Woods , The Phantom of Opera , The Legend of Hell House and many others . He made four films with Peter Cushing : Dracula (1958), Doctor Terror (1965), The Skull (1965) . And he also made various Horrors with Christopher Lee : Dracula (1958), Doctor Terror (1965), Skull (1965), Curse of the crimson altar (1968) , Sleepy Hollow (1999) , Corpse Bride (2005). Along with Michael Gough there appears Robin Askwith as young singer from a very seventies band who decides he needs a vacation, so he travels to an eerie house , the unknown Vanessa Shaw as his gorgeous companion , Skip Martin , Kurt Christian and the prolific Dennis Price , Jess Frank's regular .
Being financed in medium-short budget by Richard Gordon who produced a lot of British terror films , such as : Naked Evil , Curse of the Voodoo , Island of Terror , Inseminoid , The Playgirls and the Vampire , Corridors of Blood, Tower of evil , Grip of the Strangler , among others . The motion picture was middlingly directed by the early deceased Anthony Balch , as it has some flaws , gaps and shortcomings . Anthony was renowned for buying up European art/exploitation films and giving them catchy new English titles as Weird Weirdo , Don't Deliver Us From Evil as well as being responsible for making some documentaries and the legendary sound version of Benjamin Christensen's silent documentary classic Haxan (1922) . With his friend William S. Burroughs, they began his film career with the shorts Towers Open Fire (1966) and The Cut Ups (1966), both extensions of Burroughs' writing technique . Balch's only two features were the surreal Burroughs-influenced Secret of sex (1970) and the twisted Horror Horror Hospital (1973) . Rated . 5.5/10 . Average, but passable and acceptable.
