1/10
Spectacular Failure - 10/10 on the Crapometer
21 September 2011
I saw this film back in the seventies and recommended it to my brother, he has never forgiven me. Even now when we talk about it (it is a truly unforgettable film for all the wrong reasons) we preface all our sentences with "Ribbit" in homage to the frog, all will become clear when you watch this train wreck of a movie. You become like a deer caught in the headlights of a car - mesmerized unable to turn away - although you know you are going to be wasting an hour and a half of your life. You think it cannot get any worse but it does over and over again. Scenes that are supposed to have you cringing behind the sofa in fear have the complete opposite effect and you end up rolling on the floor doubled up in laughter. The last time it was shown on UK terrestrial television the reviewer came to his senses and listed it not as a horror but a comedy which speaks volumes. It is a worthy winner of the title of "It's so bad it is really good" Having said all that I treasure my copy of the film.

Come back George Saunders/Beryl Reid all is forgiven.
