Carry On Screaming!
“Carry On Screaming with the Hilarious CARRY ON Gang!!”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 68, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A detective investigates disappearances linked to a sinister household and an unusual mannequin business. The Carry On ensemble turns Gothic horror into a parade of puns, leers and theatrical villainy. Deliberate British camp with period attitudes and very little interest in frightening anyone seriously.
