Scream And Scream Again
''Scream and Scream Again'' is a 1970 British science fiction conspiracy thriller film starring Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Alfred Marks, Michael Gothard, and Peter Cushing. It is based on the novel ''The Disorientated Man'' (1967) attributed to ' Peter Saxon', a house pseudonym used by various authors in the 1960s and 1970s. It marks the second teaming, after '' The Oblong Box'', of actors Price and Lee with director Gordon Hessler. Price and Lee only share a brief scene in the film's climax. Cushing, in his brief scene, shares no screen time with either Price or Lee. Although the film's title, and association with stars Price, Lee and Cushing, might suggest a violent horror film, the violence in the film is mostly understated and/or off-screen, while the plot owes more to films like ''Invasion of the Body Snatchers'' or 1970's era 'conspiracy thrillers' like ''The Parallax View''. Overlooked during its initial release, the film has since become a minor cult classic, with t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
