I gave this a re-watch last night thanks to this thread.
I've always been up in the air about it and last night was no different. Some of it is sublime - death by can opener, Having Vincent Price cussing, Cleo Rocos and the mole, Pamela Stephenson in general and the various movie pastiches, yet i've never felt the story offers enough to be involving.
As far as British horror comedy of the time goes i much prefer Frankie Howerd's The House in Nightmare Park. Perhaps because i prefer Howerd as a comedian over Kenny Everett.
The doc on the Nucleus dvd is well worth a watch and discusses the films troubled distribution.
