Vincent Price! Peter Cushing! Christopher Lee! Yep...they are in this feature film. This is a real shame...this film never received any respect. In fact, its American opening was at the drive-in opposite "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant." What this movie is...it is the magnum opus for Uta Levka. The German actress plays the evil, but sultry nurse in white in today's movie. She'll murder other babe nurses and steal body parts. Through it all, she'll captivate us and may be the most stunning nurse in horror film history aside from Pamela Susan Shoop in "Halloween 2." Today we look at a mis-understood English horror film from 1970, directed by Gordon Hessler, "Scream and Scream Again."
A healthy runner collapses in the park. He'll be brought to a weird lab where a weird nurse (Levka) cares for him. Each day, the nurse anesthetizes him and a different limb is removed. Also, a psycho vampire (Michale Gothard) picks up English babes at a nightclub, slices their faces and sex organs, and drinks their blood. Okay, Konratz (Marshall Jones) is an intelligence officer behind the iron curtain who loves to torture and murder anyone who gets in his way. Fremont (Lee) is Konratz' counterpart in London. Detective Bellaver (Alfred Marks) is on the trail of the vampire killer. Helen (Judy Bloom) is an undercover cop sent into the club to attract the killer...she does.
Dr. Browning (Price)! All plot devices lead to him and his weird lab. The evil nurse works for him...but doing what will remain a mystery. The cops...the vampire...Christopher Lee...and Konratz all will converge on this weird mad scientist. What he is doing in his lab is so classic, and horrific. His weird nurse will murder a babe nurse to steal a weird body part. The sultry policewoman Helen will be abducted and put under the evil nurse's care at Browning's lab. Helen's coroner boyfriend, David (Christopher Matthews) will also try to come to the rescue. What? Did you say stop? Fine. Trust me...by the time the end credits roll...this will all make sense.
Will the sultry evil nurse and the sultry policewoman engage in a catfight to the death? What is Dr. Browning up to? Why are the intelligence agencies of the free world and behind the Iron Curtain interested in Browning? Stay with this one...it does come full circle as far as the plot goes. The babes in this film are sultry and in peril. The ick factor is at maximum strength. Uta Levka as a sultry nurse in white is worth the price of admission. See "Scream and Scream Again" and be ready to be shocked.
