The Sorcerers (1967)
5/10
Creepy movie played by the veteran Karloff with screams and shocks
29 May 2006
The hypnotist professor Monserrat (Boris Karloff) has invented a device for controlling the minds people and sharing the sensations . His mean and wicker wife (Catherine Lacey) utilizes the technique on a man called Mike (Ian Ogilvy) , a young fond disco into swinging London . She controls the Mike's mind and the exciting pleasures that provides . Ominous and awful killings are happening and the police investigates certain unsolved murders have taken place , they suspect he could be the perpetrator as horrible acts .

This is an exciting and interesting film , though lack luster and cheap production values horror tale . In fact , the scene with exploding car, the fire apparently got so out of control and film crew had to get the shot and leave in a hurry , as they had not obtained any permission from anyone to shoot the scene . The movie has suspense , shocks , genuine chills and a little bit of blood . The film packs grisly terror , eerie atmosphere which converts pretty sinister toward the ending with its surprisingly finale . The picture is interpreted by the great Boris Karloff who was in frank decadence . Filming began January 1967 in London , Boris Karloff would next journey to Madrid to work on "Cauldron of Blood" by Santos Alcocer . Ian Ogilvy is habitual in all films directed by Michael Reeves and he starred various horror films (And now the screaming starts) and television series (The Saint) . Besides , it appears uncredited Susan George , previously her famous success , ¨Strawdogs¨ . The peculiar screenplay was written by actor Tom Baker . Motion picture was regularly directed by Reeves , he only directed four films , exclusively terror , : ¨Witchfinder general¨ ,¨Castle of living dead¨ and ¨Satan's sister¨ , but he committed suicide himself . The flick will appeal to Boris Karloff fans.
