Truly Dreadful Film

Better Late Then Never

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Most fans of the CARRY ON films choose either CLEO or UP THE KHYBER as their favourite. I'm not really a fan of either of those entries, tending to prefer mostly the later films such as ABROAD, BEHIND and AT YOUR CONVENIENCE. But CARRY ON SCREAMING is the best one by far in my opinion.No one expects much of a plot when watching a CARRY ON film but here goes - a number of young girls who frequent a park with their boyfriends disappear and nearby a mad scientist and his sister are making mannequins and selling them to clothing shops as models for the shop window. Could there be a connection? You bet there is. But watch the film as I don't want to spoil what happens, suffice to say that on this flimsy plot, a great many funny scenes and set-pieces emerge and the result is simply hilarious.The film is regarded as a spoof of Hammer horror films but at times feels more like it's poking fun at old dark house films, with its inclusion of the creepy butler for example, played to perfection by the late, great Bernard Bresslaw.Harry H Corbett is the star of the film and let's be honest and say this is his CARRY ON film. For the producers, it was just an excuse to get him playing his famous character, Harold Steptoe, on the big screen. But Corbett really relishes every minute of every scene he's in, his character going through quite a few hilarious escapades.Corbett's comic timing, as is that of his co-stars, is quite simply spot on, and it's delightful - truly delightful in fact - to watch these great actors do their craft. Kenneth Williams, Jim Dale, Peter Butterworth and many others, are all at the top of their game here as the innuendos and witty puns are rolled off their tongues in this well-paced laugh riot. There's something very beautiful about it all, but I can't really find the right words to describe it. It's all very British that's for sure.The song that plays over the opening credits is delightfully catchy and part of the charm of this wonderful film.SCREAMING was the first CARRY ON film I saw around 1995 and it remains the best by far in my opinion. The series has a whole is immensely enjoyable and re-runs of the many films will continue for a long time to come I'm sure since these films may age but their fun factor is timeless.

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. It transcends the Carry On series effortlessly, yet stays true to its roots. Parodying the horror genre that had become so popular in the mid-60s was a pretty brave move, especially as the Carry On series was at its zenith, but the gamble certainly paid off. Sid James and Barbara Windsor are both missing - it could have been suicidal, but their replacements Harry H Corbett and Fenella Fielding are simply stunning, giving tour-de-force comedy performances from a sparkling script that makes even the most dyed-in-the-wool Carry On fanatic forget James &Windsor's absence. The plot is involving and suitably spooky, borrowing themes from a kaleidoscope of suspense and supernatural stories, seeming always to pick the best...... Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Edgar Allen Poe, even science fiction. The performances are unilaterally superb - Williams, Butterworth and Dale are effortlessly comedic, and Bernard Bresslaw is a gem as the undead butler. This isn't just the best Carry On film - it is, of course - it is NOT Camping, it is NOT Cleo, THIS is the best - it's almost certainly the best British comedy of the 1950s and 1960s. So funny, so lovable, so authentic. All I could wish for is that Charles Hawtrey was in it more.... Although he wouldn't have been in it at all if it weren't that the American distributors asked them to put him in. God Bless America!

The above summery is a good alternative title for this movie, which takes off a lot of the old horror pictures but more so Frankenstein.Dr Watt is kidnapping young women and turning them into dummies for local shops to model cloths. A copper, Sergeant Bung is put onto the case. Watt has two Frankenstein-like monsters he uses to get the women. Bung is turned into a monster himself when he drinks some potion he's given by Watt. Towards the end, Watt gets found out about his nasty experiments and the too "Frankensteins" are killed.Carry On Screaming takes off other old horrors as well as Frankenstein including House Of Wax, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and The Mummy. As Bung is played by Harold Steptoe himself, Harry H Corbett, we even get to hear a bit of that theme music too. This has quite a catchy theme song.Corbett is joined by several of the Carry On regulars including Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw, Jim Dale and Peter Butterworth. With Dr Who actor Jon Pertwee and Fenella Fielding.Carry On Screaming is a must for all Carry On fans as well as fans of old horror pictures. Excellent.Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.

One of the better films of the Carry On series, the film spoofs the typical horror films of the 1960s quite well, and there is a great feel of the Gothic to it, thanks to apt costumes and sets. It is still overly silly as is usual for an entry in the series, and there are silly sound effects and some lame jokes that bring it down. However, there are quite a few good gags to make up for those that do not work, and the team receives great assistance from Fenella Fielding this time, who is perfectly cast as a vampire like seductress. The film also has some good makeup work, and the title song, sung by Jim Dale, fits in well.
