Featured review
Horror movie set in a small Tennesse town calle Oldfield dealing with four stories of past evils and the teller Vincent Price reveals his hometown can force folks to murder. Welcome to Oldfield, Tennesse, population : deadly!. Stop in for a night of pure terror!
An antology movie in Hammer, Amicus and Tigon style that during the 60s and 70s made a lot of these horrifying kinds of stories . This morbid film with strong yunk factor is formed by four creepy tales with acceptable cast, such as Susan Tyrell, Martine Beswick, Clu Gulager, Rosalind Cash, Terry Kiser, Angelo Rossito, Rosalind Cash, Lawrence Tierney, Cameron Mitchell, among others . And Vincent Price is pretty well, as always. Vincent Price gives a nice but short acting in his usual style, he's considered to be one of the best horror myths including classic terror films as The Fly, The Tingler, Tales of terror, Pit and the pendulum, The Haunted Palace, The Raven, The masque of the Red Death, The tomb of Ligeia, Witchfinder General, The abominable Dr Phibes, Theatre of Blood, Madhouse, The Monster Club, among others . However isn't the usual Price material due to contain cannibalism, dismemberment, excessive gore, and necrophilia. The first tale concerns an elderly man : Clu Gulager falls for a job colleague, but the romance ends in killing, necrophilia and a terrifying revenge. The second one concerns an injured debtor : Terry Kiser mercilessly chased by creditors, on the run he meets a hermit : Harry Caesar who heals him, however Kiser attempts to steal him the secret of eternal life, then a grisly vengeance takes place. The third chapter dealing with a circus attraction, there a glass-eating carny showman pays a definitive price for seeking love outside the claws of a voodoo woman : Rosalind Cash. Final episode regards The Corn Children with a group of soldiers led by Seargent Cameron Mitchell from American Civil War, they are held captive, mistreated, tortured by a household of waifs wth fateful intentions.
The motion picture was shot in medium budget and professionally made by Jeff Burr, though it has some flaws and failures. He is an expert on terror movies and sequels, such as Night of the Scarecrow, Pupkinhead 2 wing blood , Puppet master 5 the final chapter , Puppet master 4, Stefather 2 make room for daddy , Leatherface 3 The Texas Chainsaw Massacre , and this Offspring, among others. Rating : 6/10. The film will appeal to horror fans and Vincent Price completists
