Vernon SewellRezensionen

Despite a good cast and glorious color, this period piece just plods along as one person after another is murdered by what may be a mysterious bird, but never in an entertaining way. The climax is pretty silly. Not recommended.½

Jaap van Leyden (Sir Ralph Richardson) is in charge of a shipyard in newly occupied Holland. At first he collaborates with the Germans because it is the easiest course to follow. Later, a child's rhyme reminds him of his patriotic duty, but how best to resist the Nazis without endangering his wife and fellow workers? (fonte: Imdb)

This forgotten war adventure centers on the secret Nazi missile installation of the V1 Rocket. Michael Rennie is a guerilla fighter who leads a group of Polish fighters on a mission to destroy the base and cripple the German war effort. Sir Christopher Lee is terrific as a cruel Nazi commander. (fonte: imdb)

Enjoyably daft b-grade nonsense from Tigon as Peter Cushing's Inspector Quennell tries to track down a giant female moth that's on a blood-sucking murder spree. Could the malignant moth have anything to do with entomologist Dr Mallinger (Robert Flemyng) and his daughter Clare (Wanda Ventham) who have been bringing strange species back from Africa and conducting genetic experiments? Peter Bryan's screenplay is more than a touch ludicrous, the production values are shoddy and the creature effects laughable, but on the plus side director Vernon Sewell keeps things going at a reasonable clip; Peter Cushing and Robert Flemyng give reasonably strong performances and Wanda Ventham is suitable evil. Roy Hudd also throws in some decent comic relief as a cheerful mortuary attendant. "The Blood Beast Terror" is far from being a genre classic but it is a fun and cheesy slice of light-hearted horror hokum.½

Nei primi anni della seconda guerra mondiale, i nazisti hanno invaso l'Olanda e hanno rilevato il cantiere in comproprietà gestito da Jaap van Leyden (Ralph Richardson). Il cantiere stava creando sottomarini per la Royal Dutch Navy. Il "protettore" tedesco Von Schiffer (Esmond Knight) chiede che riprendano a fare sottomarini, ma per i tedeschi. Abbassando le razioni di cibo al punto di inedia, inducono alcuni operai specializzati a tornare nel cortile.
