The Flesh and Blood Show (1972)


Directed by Pete Walker
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Shriek Show)

Actors are summoned to a mysterious old theater on a pier in the south of England. The young thespians waste no time in getting naked and fooling around. A corpse is discovered in the basement, beheaded by a guillotine prop. The police are called but all they find is a wax dummy. More killings occur and the mystery deepens. The resolution was originally presented in a 3D segment, but on the DVD is in black and white, which actually works quite well since it is set 30 years prior. It's a competent if undistinguished mystery/thriller from Pete Walker and company, although the theater itself is the main attraction.
