AKA Barn of The Naked Dead

 

 (imdb)

TERROR CIRCUS-1973-3 no clue women heading to Las Vegas to perform, have car trouble in the desert. A guy named Andre (Andrew Prine) says he can help them. Unfortunately, when they go to his house, they discover he has a barn full of captive women he's training “for his animal act”. Naturally, they become part of it. Andre dresses in a ringmaster's uniform, whips some women and sets his pet mountain lion on another. He then thinks one of the women is his mother. Derek (Chuck Niles), their manager and Sheriff Sanford (Al Cormier) search for them. Later Andre's radiation deformed father (Jerald Cormier; also the producer and co-writer) shows up and kills almost everyone. 

Despite a fairly eccentric performance by Prine, this movie isn't very good but might appeal to men who hate women. Director Alan Rudolph went to make movies like CHOOSE ME (1984) and TROUBLE IN MIND (1985).

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
