RAW MEAT-1972-Underneath the subway stations in London a cannibalistic maniac (Hugh Armstrong) kidnaps riders for food. He’s the last survivor of a group of workers who were trapped down there in an accident, Donald Pleasence is a cynical police inspector investigating the disappearances. Norman Rossington is his assistant and Clive Swift (who was in FRENZY the same year) is another inspector. David (son of Alan) Ladd is an American who becomes a suspect. His girlfriend (Sharon Gurney) is later taken by the dirty old cannibal. Ladd makes some jokes concerning apathetical New Yorkers and Christopher Lee is in one scene as MI-5 that butts heads with Pleasence.
RAW MEAT is a fairly strange little movie made in England by US director Gary Sherman who later made VICE SQUAD, WANTED:DEAD OR ALIVE and POLTERGEIST 3. For it’s time it’s quite gory. Also known as DEATHLINE. Pleasence was in 5 other movies (and an episode of TV’s Hawaii 5-0) in ‘72!
