Something in me still has massive issues with the stilted delivery of the dialogue in these movies (yes – I know – in this case it’s meant to be overly theatrical, but still it rings awkwardly untrue – Vincent Price did it better in the Phibes and Theatre of Blood type movies) ... but ultimately, this one is just glorious grande guignol in the extreme. Of course, in the days now where you can tune in to “Autopsy” and watch Gunther von Hagens doing a lot of this stuff for real (on dead corpses, of course, but hey, tit for tat), a lot of the impact is lost – but I found it marginally more interesting than Blood Feast, and like I said, if you imagine the bad acting is just “theatrical”, it almost works.
