(1976) Bernard Horsfall, Clive Swift, Glyn Houston, Thorley Walters, Simon Oates. This is a terrific little British made-for-TV feature. A has-been actor lowers himself to playing a monster in a horror movie. The monster is known as “the Dummy” and the costume is ridiculous. However, when the man who stole the actor’s wife shows up on set, the actor flips out and starts believing that he really is a terrifying monster. Mayhem erupts on set! Terrific acting complements an extremely well-written script by Nigel Kneale. Hold your breath for the terrifying climax! Wow... Nice color.
