Pete Walker goes psycho - classic British 70's horror
Review date: 2008-07-15 Rating: 10 out of 10
Schizo is a typical Pete Walker (Frightmare, House Of Whipcord, The Comeback) film - cheaply made, lots of gore and very enjoyable. Schizo was released in 1976 (they new how to make decent horror films in the 70's) and concerns a young woman Samantha (Lynn Frederick) who witnessed her mother's murder when she was a child. Now just married she is being stalked by her mother old lover (played by sinister Jack Watson). Then her friends start to be murdered one by one.
The plot is quite easy to follow and there is a nice twist near the end. There are the usual selection of 70's actors including Stephanie Beacham (Dracula A D 72, Tenko) and John Leyton. For those of you who like abit of blood there is quite a few of gory killings. The print itself is rather grainy and looks rather washed out. The extras are rather dissapointing all you get is a stills gallary and a Pete Walker filmography. It would have been nice to has a commentary by Pete Walker or some of the cast. appart from that this is an enjoyable British horror film and well worth adding to your collection.
