Carry on meets Hammer......
14 October 2015
Hand on heart I'd have to say this is possibly the best, or at least in the top three of the Carry on Series. It is hilarious, it is unique, it feels so different to every other Carry on film, there is a definite newness to it, as a stand alone film it's superb. The plot is like no other Carry on film, a sinister family, taking young girls and turning them into shop dummies, more like a Hammer from then a Carry on.

The newness I mentioned is provided by Harry H Corbett and Fenella Fielding, even though she's appeared in Regardless she still felt new. Both are so good, they have some truly funny moments, but in Screaming it's Kenneth Williams that shines, for me this was one of his best performances, he is just so funny, 'Frying tonight!' Smaller roles for some of the supporting cast, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Jon Pertwee, but each performs brilliantly.

Funny throughout, too many moments to pick out a best bit, but the scenes with Odd bod and Junior are really funny.

Fenella looked incredible, her figure was outstanding, and that dress made her look incredible, coupled with that voice she was perfectly cast in the role.

The production values are great, straight out of Hammer horror, as it the music.

It's a classic comedy, the film of my childhood. 10/10
