Like An Old Boris Karloff Film
6 April 2006 | by whpratt1See all my reviews

This is a very creepy film with plenty of sex and horror in a very mysterious old old Gothic type dwelling and a basement that looks like ER. Kevin Hicks,(Thomas),"Seeds of Doubt",'96 brings a very good looking and sexy Lydie Denier, (Marie), "Children of Wax",'05 to meet his father, Jan Rubes, (Andreas),"Anthrax",01 because he intends marry this young gal. There is fireworks going on between Tom and Marie, they are making love all over the place and don't seem to ever stop for a breath of fresh air. Andreas is a brain surgeon and has some very strange methods of screwing around in the heads of his patients. The grandfather who has recently had brain surgery views Marie and manages to recover from his brain surgery rapidly and asks Marie if she will take all her clothes off and give him a kiss. (A real Dirty Old Man). This is a very scary film and with all this brain surgery going on, I kept thinking about how veteran Horror Actor, Boris Karloff would have handled this type of operation and Marie !
