Influenced by Dario Argento’s horror classic Suspiria, director Norman J Warren and screenwriter David McGillivray – reteaming two years after the success of Satan’s Slave – created an offbeat blend of satire and the supernatural, sending up the British exploitation film industry while delivering ever more outlandish set-pieces. An eclectic cast list includes John Nolan, Carolyn Courage, Glynis Barber and Peter Mayhew, best known for playing Chewbacca in the Star Wars movies. (Powerhouse Films)

The London-based Norman J. Warren made a relatively conventional slasher B-movie about a series of murders. An evil witch from the 18th century that a family attempted to burn to death curses them, and gradually eliminates each of its members. Terror is an early British slasher movie that does not stick to the rules very much, so at one point there is a mysterious figure with a knife, an invisible entity, and at other times just things moving around the room. So, anything could happen, which offers quite a diverse range of horror scenes, but the padded-out and languid storyline trudges along and so, the movie drags quite a bit, although not too much of a drag. However, the final psychedelic scene is top-notch. Plus Peter "Chewbacca" Mayhew, although he makes a very brief appearance, pulls off a very theatrical entrance.
