Bloodbath at the House of Death [1984]
Quite appalling.Kenney Everett was a great comedian but this film is terrible.Let's be honest the only reason people will buy this dvd is to see Not The Nine O'Clock News' Pamela Stephenson lose her clothes.Go on be honest it's true isn't it?

A milestone in cult movies!

A long wait for this lost cult classic was definetly worth the wait,the gentleman who tracked down the rights etc.had one HELL of a job in doing so,but came through in the end.
Anyone who has a fondness for British cult cinema will absolutely LOVE this.Funny,well scripted,Pamela Stephenson gets 'em out,some decent gore,atmospheric and the one and only VINCENT PRICE along with comic genius Kenny Everett,make this a MUST HAVE.
Great extras complete a fantastic package which features one of the crispest transfers and clearest sound jobs,thus seen on a film of this age.
Go on One-click it NOW-you won't be disappointed!
a bloodbath of laughs & a dvd full of surprises!

I have been a Kenny Everett fan for years - I remember the first time that his shows appeared on British TV & I welcomed the recent reruns on satellite TV earlier in 2008! However, I confess to never having seen Bloodbath at the house of death in the cinema or on video. Anyone expecting an array of manic characters from Kenny's TV programs will be pleasantly surprised at his restrained performance as the mad professor with a dubious background - he only goes a bit nuts when the script requires him to & any overacting is down to certain other performers! The supporting cast is full of familiar faces - Graham Stark ( `Ercule in the Clouseau movies for just one example), David Lodge, veteran of countless films, John Fortune & South African Sheila Steafel, both of whom made their names on TV and are still active today & of course the biggest bonus is the participation of the incomparable Vincent Price who adds his own brand of camp dignity to the proceedings! Pamela Stephenson, best remembered for the wonderful Not the 9 o'clock news series, speaks in a strange lisp of her own invention according to one of the interviews in the Special Features section & Kenny's very close friend & a gorgeous lady, Cleo Rocos, is around to further enhance the production!
The story has been described by other people who have written reviews on Amazon's web site but basically the movie is homage to horror films of the era & pre dates the concept of the Scary Movie series by some 20 years!
Now to those special features which make this a fascinating DVD! Interviews with the executive producers provide revealing insights about the making of the film but the real gem is the archive footage consisting of a rare interview with Kenny, previously unseen by me.
Surprisingly enough Bloodbath didn't do well at the box office in UK but was a hit in Australia!
Hopefully this DVD release will find a new audience with awareness having been aroused by the repeats of the old TV shows that I mentioned earlier.
10 out of 10 to Nucleus films for finding a great looking print of the film - colours are crisp & sharp throughout and the night scenes are totally clear too, so collectors can now throw their old tapes away and replace with this excellent piece of nostalgic entertainment!
Utterly beyond any form of artistic redemption...great!!

The utterly stupid (and critically loathed) Kenny Everett film is a ridiculous mixture of grand guignol excess and very childish groan worthy jokes. In fact, the film is so utterly beyond redemption (and fully aware of it) that you might as well check your brain (and taste) at the door and just get on with it.
Lashings of blood, faces burnt off with blow torches, decapitation by tin opener, Satanic mass slaughter and operations gone wrong are the order of the day. There are, to be fair, some genuine laugh out loud moments and some pretty good effects but this is no classic by any means, and the 4 stars is for the sheer stupidity of the whole affair, the gory excess, scantily clad buxom women and childishness - which gets my vote every time!
