279 Scream and Scream Again ( 1969 )

This    offering  from   Tigon   is  more  of  a  science  fiction  film  than  horror  and  rather  divides  opinion. Some  think  it's  a  classic, others  a  bit  of  a  mess. I'm  in  the  latter  camp  frankly; it's  ambitious  in  starting  out  with  three  apparently  unconnected  story  threads  but  the  pace  is  wildly  uneven  spending  15  minutes  on  a  police  chase  and  then  rushing  the  not  very  illuminating  exposition  at  the  end. Some  good  performances  but  it  doesn't  really  repay  the  attention  it  demands.

A  jogger  finds  his  limbs  are  disappearing  in  a  hospital. A  ruthless  Communist  apparatchik  Konrad ( Marshall  Jones )  starts  killing  his  superiors  ( including  Peter  Cushing in  a  very  minor  role ). A  police  detective  ( Alfred  Marks ),   tracking  a  serial  killer,  follows  a  lead  to  a  strange  scientist  (Vincent  Price ). And  Christopher  Lee  pops  up  occasionally  as  a  civil  servant  who  seems  to  know  what's  going  on.  

Judy  Huxtable  ( as  Sylvia )

Sex : It's  implied  that  Sylvia  is  raped  in  the  attack

Death : Savaged  by  Keith   the  killer

In  a  film  bereft  of  any  decent  female  roles  Judy  is  top  billed  girl  but  she's  only  in  it  for  about  10  minutes.

Uta  Levka  ( as  Jane )

Sex : No

Death : Dissolved  in  a  trough  of  acid

Uta  is  completely  mute  in  this  one.

Judy  Bloom  ( as  Helen  Bradford )

Sex :  Helen  is  a  WPC  set  up  as  a  honey  trap  for  the  killer

Death : Survives

Born  in  Leeds  as  Judith  Churnin , Judi  was  more  of  a  TV  actress  active  until  1973 . She  is  now  75.

Yutte  Stensgaard  ( as  Erika )

Sex : No

Death :  Uncertain  but  likely  killed  by  Konrad

Yutte   was  a  Danish  model  who  came  to  the  UK  in  the  late  sixties  to  further  her  career. With  work  drying  up  by  the  mid-seventies  she  emigrated  to  the  US  and  ended  up  selling  air  time   for  a  Christian  radio  station  in  Oregon. She  is  now  71.

Rosalind  Elliott  ( as  Valerie )

Rosalind  made  few  films  but  was  a  busy  TV  actress  up  to  the  beginning  of  the  nineties.

Olga  Linden ( as Eileen  Stevens )

Death :  Her  jugular  vein  has  been  torn  out
