Antony Balch directs this British horror comedy. Struggling pop star Jason Jones (Robin Askwith) attempts to escape the pressures of fame at a country retreat, run by the mysterious Dr. Christian Storm (Michael Gough) and his matronly wife Harris (Ellen Pollock). Once there he discovers the estate is populated by holidaymakers walking around in a daze with scars on their heads, leading Jason to suspect the doctor is conducting experiments in mind control using the unsuspecting hippies as his subjects.

A decent, paint-by-numbers horror flick
Quite a good film. If you're a horror fan, you won't find any new twists and turns, but you'll still enjoy this film as it works it's way competently through the genre's cliches. The "twist" ending - the revealing of the doctor's _true_ identity - is a bit of a yawn, and the protagonists are all annoyingly early 70s 'rebellious' youth, but all-in-all, if you like horror, this is one you should add to your collection - it isn't a star, but it does make the grade.
