Plot summary
Following his forced retirement from an appalling rock band, Jason decides to vacation at Brittlehouse Manor, a health farm run by the leather-gloved, ex-Nazi scientist Dr. Storm. Along the way, Jason meets Judy, also on her way to Brittlehouse Manor to visit her aunt, who married Dr. Storm some years ago. Once they arrive, the pair realise rather quickly that something is wrong, probably because the other guests have had their brains surgically removed, or all the blood pouring from the sink, or possibly just because the creepy midget keeps telling them to brush their teeth.

REST CURE?
Ah, the stresses of a young rock and roller, they can drive you to Horror Hospital! (Cue the scary organ chord), where you'll be a fine young specimen for the Evil Doctor's nefarious ends. I enjoyed this satiric romp thru old-time British horror movies. Doesn't hit you over the head with Ha-Ha funny, but it keeps the subtle little drolleries coming, and I found myself amused with a little smile on my face most of the time. The "vacation package" to hell that our hero purchases is targeted "for under 30's" and clearly so is this film. Having been well under 30 myself in 1973, I could relate. The villains, however, are seasoned old pros, perfectly balancing the tightrope of both menacing and amusing. The arbitrariness of the action is part of the fun, and i couldn't believe some of the far-fetched elements they threw in that kept me interested and entertained . . With emphasis on humor rather than horror, effects are outlandish and cheesy. But there is a Death Car worthy of a James Bond Baddy
