Review of Devil Times Five (1974) by Rob R — 23 Dec 2010

Here's the plot. A sunshine bus has a spectacular crash down the side of a mountain. The disturbed children within survive and find a place of solace. In which they kill all inhabitants. Cause they're disturbed. Doesn't really matter why. One of them pretends to be a nun, one of them pretends to be in the army, one of them wants to be a movie star and so cross dresses (yes, I'm still talking about the children). The other two don't matter much. This is clearly getting five stars.

Add to this the adults - after the credits have finally finished, we get a seduction of a George-type (Mice/Men) character, swiftly followed by a cat fight then a pretty lame sex scene. That's the first half hour, then the kids start the killings.

Fantastic fantastic fantastic. This is #22 of the Chilling Classics set and, finally, this has made the £15-£20 a wise investment.
