I think this was the last of the "has-been actress" horror films, 12 December 2000
Author: funnyguyla from Los Angeles

I remember watching this movie on TV when I was a kid. Then a couple of years ago I rented the video and couldn't believe how gory it was. Even though this movie came out in 1972, it's just as gory as any "Friday the 13th" film. A man's hand is chopped off, a guy is shot point blank in the eye with blood and brains oozing out of the socket, and a woman in a wheelchair has her head lopped off with blood spurting from the neck. It's a lousy movie and not scary at all, but the gore shocked me. Too bad this was the late, great Agnes Moorehead's last film.
