MADHOUSE (1974). Enjoy the acting of Vincent Price and Peter Cushing, but not even they (along with Robert Quarry-COUNT YORGA, SUGAR HILL-, Adrienne Corri-THE HELLFIRE CLUB, A CLOCKWORK ORANGE- and Linda Hayden-TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA, VAMPIRA) can save this listless tale of a successful Horror actor who may have killed his Fiancee and while making a TV comeback, murders very similar to his films occur.
An interesting premise (very much like TARGETS), but doesn't try at all to do anything to progress the story and I was checking the time to see how long was left; never a good sign. Boris Karloff and Basil Rathbone get a Special Guest billing (despite being deceased for several years) via clips from TALES OF TERROR and THE RAVEN, along with PIT AND THE PENDULUM, THE HAUNTED PALCE AND HOUSE OF USHER. See it if You are a completest as I am, but keep some coffee nearby. **
