The Ghastly Ones Audience Reviews

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
preppy-3 This takes place in the early 1900s (for no earthly reason I can think of). Three sisters and their husbands go to their late fathers estate located on a remote island. They all seem to get along but soon a masked killer is going around and killing everybody but who and why? Believe me this film is so badly made you won't care! Terribly directed film by the "legendary" Andy Milligan. He was known for making no budget horror films with threadbare scripts, terrible actors (most of who never made another movie) and gore effects that are so bad you won't believe what you're seeing. For some reason this man has a following. Why?????? The films aren't bad enough to be good (like Ed Wood films) and the acting and gore is just laughable.Anyways this film is, as I said, terribly directed. The camera wanders all over the place not seeming to know where to go. Most of the film is shot in tight closeups--probably to cover up the cheap sets. The production design is threadbare--the costumes actually looked pretty good but the rooms are small and cramped. One room has wallpaper (which I don't think existed back in the early 1900s) that will make you dizzy! The script is OK but full of things that don't add up. Early on it's made clear that two characters--Richard and Walter--were lovers...and then NOTHING is done with it! Then why tell us??? The acting is surprisingly not bad. No one is fantastic but no one is really bad either. They all say their lines with conviction. There's a few flashes of female nudity and some pointless sex scenes. Still this is a bad film with terrible direction, threadbare sets and gore that is so lousy it staggers the imagination. Stephen King said this was made by morons with cameras. Mr. King is 100% right. A 1 all the way.
trashgang Well well, at last a view of this underrated flick. But you can't find a good copy of it, terrible copy full with green drops, the editing isn't syncronized, the sound do has sometimes that terrible hiss and sometimes you even can hear the camera recording. Overall it's too dark, a waist of time you should say but it isn't. It's a bit slow, the first half part of the movie it's all talking and making love to each other. It is even still weird that the girls in movies from the 60's never wear any bra's. When they enter the sleeping room it's full glory. Anyway, banned in the UK since 84 and still on the video nasties list. The reason is simple, it's gory for their time being. It really has some nasty dismemberement's and it's creepy in some way due the fact that it is filmed handycam way. So every shot the image is moving, things they do these days with the steadycam. The Ghastly Ones could have been better if the quality of the film was better but still better then other films of the time like Schoolgirls In Chains.
lastliberal This film was released in the UK under the name Blood Rites. It was banned outright and never submitted again for release.As The Ghastly Ones, it was supposedly a hit with the horror hungry denizens of New York City's famed 42nd Street Grindhouse circuit. If you are looking for some bloody horror, then you will find it in this film.Unfortunately to see the developmentally disabled Colin (Hal Borske) chomp down on a live rabbit, you have to put up with shaky 16mm camera work that makes Ed Wood look positively marvelous.Three sisters are to spend three days in the family homestead with their husbands before the old man's money is disbursed. Naturally, in such a situation, people start dropping dead. Family secrets are exposed and lots of blood is spilled, especially during a gruesome dismemberment.Maybe it was the bunny bit that the Brits objected to, I know I did.
Michael_Elliott Ghastly Ones, The (1968) 1/2 (out of 4) Three couples spend the night in an old dark house so that they can collect an inheritance but a killer is running loose. This is my first Andy Milligan film and it's really no worse than countless other exploitation films that were out at the time. Everything about the film is bad, especially the sex scenes, which are probably the worst I've ever seen in a movie. The director does try to build suspense but this here comes off rather laughable but then again, everything here comes close to laughable.
