Review of Scream and Scream Again (1970) by Jason J — 13 Jul 2011

You'd think a movie with 3 horror legends would be great but in the end this was a very disappointing and boring movie. The plotline is very messy indeed, there are a number of occasions when the audience is forced to ask themselves what exactly is going on, and why.

The lack of plot shows through at times as the movie features an overlong chase sequence midway through, and ends with a nice, but rather off with the rest of the movie, mad scientist scene. The movie meanders through it's two basic plot lines, but it doesn't fit together well because the stories have very little to do with one another.

The 60's swing atmosphere is nice, but it isn't very horrific and doesn't create the best atmosphere for a horror movie. The music isn't very good either, and it throws any chance of capturing a mood of malevolence out of the window and replaces it with a very tacky feel.

There's very little to actually scream at...the movie is not scary in the least.
