Review of And Now the Screaming Starts! (1973) by Simon T — 28 Jul 2017
Amicus horror feature from 1973. As with so many Hammer/Amicus features this has very little genuine horror and quite a bit of anaemic acting in over-lit rooms. The peculiar billing implies Peter Cushing and Herbert Lom are the stars, but in fact the three leads are played by Ian Ogilvy (bland), Stephanie Beacham (screams a lot) and Geoffrey Whitehead (vengeful servant).
It's entertaining enough but lacks atmosphere. Lom is terrific in a sadistic cameo, Cushing indifferent as a doctor.
