Murder and Gore in the English Home Counties
Pete Walker’s ‘Frightmare’ is a gloriously gory mix of psychopathic and cannibalistic killings and pretty English cottages, all topped with all those naff ’70’s fashions, haircuts and British cars.

Walker regular Sheila Keith is the woman sent to an asylum fifteen years ago, along with her abetting husband. He’s helpless when her cravings come back and assumed cured, she now reads tarot cards. Their daughter gets romantically involved with a young psychiatrist and when her younger, adopted sister starts going off the rails, the young doctor naturally wants to help.

She’s actually helping find feeding matter – and their brains – for her step mother. And step mother uses an array of everyday tools and appliances to get to her subjects’ juicy bits. Electric drills, pitchforks, you name it. There’s plenty of reasonable looking blood at the right times and some great make up effects of everyday folk with half their heads missing.

Now, nearly forty years on it’s more a chiller than a screamer but very effective nonetheless and certainly one of the better Brit horror flicks I’ve seen. I saw it on The Horror channel.

A really rather fine Brit exploitation flick
You’ve got to hand it to Pete Walker; he was one of the few British exploitation horror directors to make any impact back in the 70’s. The ridiculously stringent censorship climate in the U.K. back in those days most probably put other film-makers off taking a chance in pushing the envelope. But Walker seemed to get his films out anyway, not only this but they do seem to have a bit of quality about them. Both Frightmare and House of Whipcord are good examples of well made exploitation movies with some originality and good acting.

In 1957 Edmund and Dorothy Yates are tried and convicted of murder and sent to an asylum. They are released ‘cured’ several years later but Dorothy soon starts luring unsuspecting folks to her remote farmhouse for tarot readings that end rather grimly.

Frightmare really feels like a British variant on The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It seems pretty likely that their similarities are something of a coincidence seeing as they were released at the same time but they are both quite specifically about cannibalism and the family. Walker’s film may not have as iconic a character as Leatherface but it does have Dorothy Yates. And it does have to be said that she is a seriously inspired creation. Sheila Keith portrays her perfectly in an awesome performance. Keith is one of the truly under-rated horror performers and this must surely be her pinnacle. To be fair though, there are other fine performances, most notably from Rupert Davies as the loyal husband Edmund and Kim Butcher is feisty as their tearaway teenage daughter.

There is an impressively bleak atmosphere maintained throughout. This is continued right up to the nihilistic ending. Walker’s films seem to share this. They also unusually often share a penchant for elderly villains. In this one they literally eat the younger generation. I have also read Walker also say that he was somewhat conservative when it came to nudity and preferred not to include it – a film like House of Whipcord, for example, would have played up its sexploitation angle much more in other hands. With Frightmare he finally had a chance to not include any sleaze at all, which pleased the director. What he could not avoid though was the mind-blowingly awful British fashion sense of the 70’s. In some respects the clothing on display is much more frightening than death by power drill or pitchfork. No, but seriously, this is an excellent movie and one of the best British horror films from the 70’s.
