CRAZE

Cinemavixion Review

Freddie Francis's "Craze" plunges viewers into the grimy underbelly of London, where a debonair antique dealer, portrayed with unsettling conviction by Jack Palance, dabbles in the dark arts. Convinced that appeasing an ancient idol with human sacrifices will unlock untold riches, Palance's character orchestrates a series of increasingly macabre rituals. The film, set against classic London backdrops, leans into its "cheesy" horror roots, offering a blend of the supernatural and the sensational. While its narrative may tread familiar ground, the committed performances, particularly from Palance and the supporting cast including Diana Dors, elevate the proceedings. "Craze" is a cult classic that delivers on its promise of wicked fun, a decadent slice of 70s horror that remains a guilty pleasure for its unashamedly lurid charms.
