 More fascinating than frightening November 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is quite an oddity. Yes, the print is very difficult to watch as much of it is so dark. I have to admit to liking any film set in a theatre and that is what attracted me to it. I think the location for some of the filming is the end of Cromer Pier. If you look at the film at 1hr.05mins that is not Brighton as implied in the booklet.br /The cast includes many familiar faces most notably Ray Brooks, Jenny Hanley, Robin Askwith and Patrick Barr. I enjoyed the story but agree it is slow moving.br /
 Dreary early Pete Walker horror October 17, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Director Pete Walker's cult status rests mainly on the trio of marvellous satirical horror films he made in the mid-70s with screenwriter David McGillivray - House of Whipcord, Frightmare and House of Mortal Sin. The Flesh and Blood Show is one of his earlier stabs at the genre, and isn't a patch on those. Probably the best thing about the film is its wonderfully gloomy out-of-season pier setting. Sadly, there's not much else to be said for it. The plot: Young members of an experimental drama group rehearsing at the pier are being offed one by one by a mysterious killer. I won't spoil the who and why, but it makes so little sense and is so tortuously revealed that the whole thing becomes a chore.br /br /Confusingly, though there's an announcement abut the film's 3D scene at the beginning, in the film itself on this DVD it's just in black and white. You can watch it as a bonus feature though, as long as you have your own 3D glasses, Odeon not having stumped up for any. It's no great shakes, though, consisting mainly of Patrick Barr shouting and gesturing (why people would want to see that in the miracle of three dimensions is anybod's guess, and it seems to go on forever), and the 3D itself is pretty underwhelming too.br /br /It's all rather a disappointment, and only really worth paying out for if you're a Pete Walker or Britsploitation completist.
Not one of Pete Walkers best films - awful dark print July 25, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
The Flesh And Blood Show concerns a group of actors who are rehursing a play in an old abondoned seaside theatre at the end of a pier. The theatre has a sinister secret from its past and the actors start to vanish one by one.br /br /The problem with this film is it's very very dull. The plot moves at such a slow pace and there are none of the characteristic gory killings which we expect to see in a Pete Walker film. The print is in 1.85 widescreen but is so dark and grainy you can hardly see what's happening. There is no commentary track by Pete Walker but you do get the 3d Sequence (no glasses are provided so you can actually watch it). br /br /If you are a Pete Walker fan you will probably buy this dvd. If your not and wish to sample some of his films try Frightmare or The Comeback.
