Die Screaming, Marianne (1971) - Set in Portugal, the story involves the young and beautiful Marianne (played by Susan George), a sexually-liberal woman who's first seen in bed with a shore-leave sailor. She then takes off from her family home and is almost accidentally run over by a motorist, Sebastian (Christopher Sandford), whom she reluctantly agrees to marry in London a couple of weeks later at his steadfast urging. But she pulls a bit of a doozy: while Sebastian is distracted, she has the name of his likable friend and best man at the wedding, Eli (Barry Evans), put on the marriage certificate, making her technically married to him. Sebastian is outraged, Marianne quickly moves out of his place and takes refuge at Eli's. This, however, is just the beginning of things.

The Flesh and Blood Show (1972) - A bunch of young aspiring actors all take a job at a stage theater that just happens to be set on an ocean pier. From the opening shot of that pier ending the credits with blood spilling into the water, you know it is a “bad place” to go. Feeling more like a dry run for Bob Clark’s great Black Christmas (reviewed elsewhere on this site) than an early slasher film, there is frankly not enough horror or murder to fulfill the basic needs of the genre, instead opting too often for false starts and a desire to emulate full color episodes of the 1960s Avengers series. With that said, it is still interesting enough to take a look at it and its sincerity and attempts at originality failed are still better than the slate of garbage in the genre we have been getting lately.

House of Whipcord (1974) - An above average sexploitation/horror that has been put together with some polish and care from a fairly original script. The film is dedicated ironically to all those who wish to see the return of capital punishment in Britain, and it's about a senile old judge and his wife who are so appalled by current permissiveness that they set up a gruesome house of correction for young girls. The only trouble is that the film undercuts its potentially interesting Gothic theme by some leering emphases, and the final result is likely to be seen and appreciated only by the people who will take the dedication at its face value.

Frightmare (1974) - With Frightmare following on House of Whipcord, David McGillivray's scriptwriting is undoubtedly having a marked effect on Walker's exploitation pictures. Where he used to settle for routine plots, his films now teem with demonic life, plus vicious and genuinely disturbing shock effects. Frightmare is about a psychopathic mum (Keith) who has the nasty habit of going at her victims with an electric drill before devouring them raw. It is far better written and acted than you might expect, and Walker's direction is on another level altogether from Cool It Carol! or The Flesh and Blood Show. The problem is that there is absolutely no exposition or analysis, no flexibility about the theme; still contained within a basic formula, it tends to leave a highly unpleasant aftertaste.
