Scream and Scream Again -
Well, that was odd, but it's a mostly compelling thriller. There's a hunt for a serial rapist and killer, a doctor specializing in organ transplants and a faction of pseudo-Nazis. These very different stories eventually converge, but it may happen too late because for most of the runtime, I was preoccupied with how they are connected. There are memorable moments that took me out of this state such as the chase for the rapist and killer which is long, but never boring, whenever AIP regulars Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Vincent Price (who plays the doctor) are on screen and any scene with Konratz (Marshall Jones), the scariest pseudo-Nazi who apparently learned to kill by studying Mr. Spock on Star Trek. I'll sum up how odd this movie is with a question it raises, which is one you would hardly expect it to raise considering the plot: how do we prevent scientific advancements from falling into the wrong hands?

) of the film Final Exam, my exasperation with its nearly-unique combination of being incredibly boring until it becomes unintentionally silly.
