TOWER OF EVIL 1972 (SCORPION)

What a great movie!

This is not your average run of the mill horror films. The film opens with two men discovering the dead bodies of several murdered people and suddenly a young, naked woman comes screaming out of a room and stabs one of the men to death.

Then we switch to a group of archeologists who visit the island and discover why these people were murdered and how. It's a very thick plotted film and it's handled very well by director Jim O' Connolly who also directed "Valley Of Gwangi".

Bryant Halliday and Jill Haworth are two of the archeologists and Dennis Price is a Museum owner who wants the buried treasure that he believes is on the island. Candace Glendenning is the naked crazy woman at the beginning of the story, and the one who puts the pieces together for the police. The rest of the cast is rounded out by Anna Palk, George Coulouris and Robin Askwith.

This film is also known as "Horror On Snape Island" and it seems that something else lives on Snape Island and it enjoys killing people. Very bizarre and bloody with ample nudity and unabashed sadism, this film should please even the most jaded fan of horror films. Scorpion brings us this film totally uncut for the first time and in a beautiful print. It is hosted by the gorgeous Katarina Leigh Waters and she has an interview with David Del Valle as an extra on the disc.

This is a highly recommended addition to your collection.
