Movie Reviews of Horrors of the Black Museum
Movie Review: DELICIOUS GUILTY PLEASURE....
Summary: 5 Stars
Outrageous British shocker from the Herman Cohen output of the late fifties-early sixties that was made for sheer lip-smacking sensationalism. Film opens with a looney "prologue" explaining Hypno-Vision and then proceeds to a girl recieving an anonymous gift of binoculars. When she raises them to her eyes to try them out---tiny spikes plunge into her eyes when she adjusts them as her roommate screams her head off. We then meet Michael Gough (as over-the-top as you would expect) as a novelist who specializes in shockingly lurid crimes. He also keeps a "Black Museum" of sensational murder weapons that he purchases from a crafty antiques dealer (Beatrice Varley) who knows a bit too much. He dispatches her with a huge pair of ice tongs when she resorts to blackmail. Gough is an avowed mysoginist and as much says so to his young apprentice (Graham Curnow) who has a pretty marriage- minded girlfriend (Shirley Anne Field). Gough also has a girlfriend (June Cunningham)---a bleach blonde strumpet after his money. She's a Jayne Mansfield look-a-like only smaller on the top. When he refuses her more money, she tells him off and throws him out. She then trots on down to the nearest bar, knocks back some drinks, plays some Latin dance music on the Rock-Ola and does a sexy dance routine for the boys in the bar (and the camera) before becoming another victim...But anyway, there's more and you have to get this to enjoy it. In vivid color and voyeuristically photgraphed, this is a nasty but fun item to have in your collection. The acting is about par but the shocks abound in this gruesome goodie. Shirley Anne Field (also in "Peeping Tom") became a respectable actress and still appears in British films today. I wonder what she would have to say about this little item? "Horrors" is coming from VCI and should look great as they have a good reputation for quality products. Watch for it.
