Girls In Peril

THE HOUSE THAT SCREAMED-1969-A boarding school for girls is run by the strict principal Mme. Forneau (Lilli Palmer). Of course she’s some power crazed disciplinarian who has a sadistic underling whip a girl who defied her. She also has a son Luis (John Moulder-Brown) who lives there and spies on the girls. Mom doesn't want him around any of the students (“These girls are poison”). She may have an unhealthy fondness for him. Luis and one of students Isabel (Maribel Martin) seem to be in love and secretly meet and he worries his mom will find out. Unfortunately a fake note from Luis leads to her being stabbed to death. A new girl Teresa (Cristina Galbo) is caught in the middle. Much time is wasted on a shower scene (very brief nudity) with Luis getting stuck in some kind of drain pipe while spying. Other girls are killed and in the end Luis is building his own girlfriend in the image of his mother. 

Tedious story line and non-action doom this production from Spain by Narciso Ibanez Serrador. 

The next year Moulder-Brown co-starred in the UK stalker film DEEP END. https://moviemeltdown.blogspot.com/2011/04/deep-end.html

Deep End

DEEP END-1970-15 year Mike (John Moulder-Brown) gets a job as an attendant in a bathhouse where he meets the female worker Susan (Jane Asher). He becomes increasingly obsessed with her and eventually stalks her while she’s out with her fiancée (Christopher Standford), although she’s also having an affair with a swimming instructor. After some stalking, harassment and hot dog eating Mike has sex with Susan and it all ends tragically. This psychological drama is too talky and boring.

Polish born director Jerzy Skolimowski later made THE SHOUT. Diana Dors has one scene as a floozy who comes on to Mike and Bert Kwouk plays the hot dog vendor. Moulder-Brown was later in VAMPIRE CIRCUS and a lot of BBC productions.
