Movie review - "Crucible of Terror" (1971) *1/2

 Cheesy British horror film. Gets up to a terrific start with a woman being sculputred and murdered - I don't know why they didn't have a few more scenes along these lines, with creepy furnaces glowing red and screams.

Too much of it is ugly shots, murder mysteries and erratic acting. The hammy stuff is fun - Ronald Lacey. mike Raven looks good but doesn't have it - the voice lets him down. Some pretty women. Doesn't build. Some of the women are attractive.

Just a bit slip shod. Good film inside struggling to get out.
