Ah, the stresses of a young rock and roller, they can drive you to Horror Hospital! (Cue the scary organ chord), where you'll be a fine young specimen for the Evil Doctor's nefarious ends.
I enjoyed this satiric romp thru old-time British horror movies. Doesn't hit you over the head with Ha-Ha funny, but it keeps the subtle little drolleries coming, and I found myself amused with a little smile on my face most of the time.
The "vacation package" to hell that our hero purchases is targeted "for under 30's" and clearly so is this film. Having been well under 30 myself in 1973, I could relate.
The villains, however, are seasoned old pros, perfectly balancing the tightrope of both menacing and amusing.
The arbitrariness of the action is part of the fun, and i couldn't believe some of the far-fetched elements they threw in that kept me interested and entertained . .
With emphasis on humor rather than horror, effects are outlandish and cheesy.
But there is a Death Car worthy of a James Bond Baddy
