Terror (1978)

TERROR (1978) - Little horror film from England about a film crew who is shooting a movie about the directors real life family and house. There are some good scenes in this film. The weirdest parts of the film are how the spirit of a witch who was burned at the stake causes glass to break everywhere in the house and a killer with a knife who kills people by stabbing them in the legs and ankles. There are beheadings and even a scene where one of the film crew is attack by projection film and I mean alot of film. Just before that this victim is attacked by garbage lids and all kinds of glass. One scene has a car attacking and killing a policeman. A car floating amoungst the tree tops with a female inside. Just plain weird. Besides the weird horror in the film you also get to see a really wild club dance. Some scenes work, yet as a whole the film just didn't work for me. Some how I was glad to have watched it.

Is this an underground-production or a movie that is "famous" ?
- it sounds interesting but I wonder if this movie ever run in Germany.

I never heard of it till I picked up the Horrible Horror Collection from Rhino on DVD. It's definately made in England, so maybe it made the rounds in Germany.

While I have not seen the film, the scene "where one of the film crew is attacked by projection film" is one of the most famous, or infamous, if you would have it, horror film scenes in the U.K.

It definately adds to the strangeness of this film.
