Amicus Films : Part 5 (Documentary Review)
In Episode 5 of the Amicus Odyssey witness Amicus's twisted take on a persona-switch classic, we then delve into an overlooked grindhouse-style masterclass into the horrors of the generation gap before our trip to the crypt where we witness the making of not only a cornerstone of Amicus Studios but to some a bona fide classic of the horror film genre.
Robert Bloch’s final foray brings us stories of broken minds and maniacal mayhem until our final destination - a gothic tale of madness and the supernatural against a backdrop of regency period dread with severed hands, crazed woodcutters, and a haunting family curse.
Get the full lowdown with actor profiles, plot breakdowns, behind-the-scenes stories, and, of course, Crabs' final verdict. This must be Amicus time once more on look...look and look again.
