Comedy horror starring Michael Gough and Robin Askwith. Young rock singer Jason Jones is persuaded by a flamboyant travel agent to take a relaxing break at Dr Storm's "Health Hotel", Brittlehurst Manor. But he soon discovers that the hotel is not all it seems...
Combining audience preoccupations with medicine and terror, director Antony Balch attempts to spoof the usual horror contents here by taking them so far over the edge that they self-destruct. There's a Rolls-Royce with scythes, belligerent bikers and, of course, a burns-scarred mad scientist, plus Robin Askwith (Confessions of a Window Cleaner) as an aspiring rock musician seeking a rest cure. Unfortunately, the result is an almost unwatchable mess, but try to stay the course - the psychological subtext is fascinating.
