The Theatre Bizarre (2011) Frightfest Review







The combined forces of some of horrors more obscure directors should have guaranteed that THE THEATRE BIZARRE be something special and while it is certainly something unique and lives up to the promise of the bizarre part of it's title.

A welcome return to the screen by Richard Stanley is marred by a Doctor Who rubber monster and a variation on "The Hook" from American urban folklore. Karim Hussain does his best to disgust with a woman injecting other peoples eyeball fluid into her own but this pales compared to the directors SUBCONCIOUS CRUELTY and then closer SWEETS is a bright technicolour candyfloss nightmare. It's all a bit odd and a bit off and never gets into the groove of being a cohesive anthology as promised.

Spotty at best and bonkers at worst THE THEATRE BIZARRE is a floppy for Happy Horror Hard On.
