| Freddie Francis (TaIes From The Crypt, Torture Garden) apparentIy didn't care much for this, his 1974 assignment for the KandeI and Cohen production house even going so far as to describe it as "worse than Trog" We at Nucleus, however, disagree: Craze is a slice of prime British horror sleaze, ripe for rediscovery. It's got everything! lt's got Jack Palance (Dracula, Torture Garden, Hawk The SIayer) pretending to be EngIish, exclaiming Jeezus Christ AImighty! and picking up doIly birds in funky psychedeIic nightspots! It's got Martin Potter (Goodbye Gemini, Satan's SIave, CrueI Passion) as his paranoid, hard-drinking gay business partner, Julie Ege (Creatures the World Forgot, Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires) and KathIeen Byron (Twins of Evil) as ritual victims, and MichaeI Jayston (ThrilIer, QuiIIer, TaIes that Witness Madness) Percy Herbert (The Fiend, Black Snake) and David Warbeck (The Beyond, The BIack Cat) as a trio of grumpy fIatfoot coppers! It's got Suzy Kendall (Up The Junction, Bird with the Crystal PIumage, Torso) as a curly-wigged hooker with a jaw-dropping sex-aid coIIection, and Trevor Howard, Diana Dors, Hugh Griffith and Edith Evans (you KNOW who they are), slumming it in late-career cameos! Not convinced? How about an homage to Peeping Tom (though we're not teIling you where, so you have to buy it) an occuIt coven in purpIe robes chanting "armuneminuum" and a series of ghastIy, grisIy, gory, gruesome deaths? Or, best of all, how about Chuko, the ugliest, most googIy-eyed fetish idoI ever seen on-screen? SeriousIy, this doII makes both Hammer's Charlie Boy and the Zuni from TriIogy Of Terror look handsome by comparison. Let him into your Iife (even better, Iet this beautifulIy re-mastered disc into your pIayer) and the rewards are plenty - but they don't come cheap. As the song says, "it's no sacri-fi-i-iiiice..."
