craze (1974)

aka Demon Master. The Infernal Idol. Neal Mottram (Jack Palance) is an art and antiques dealer with an interesting way of worship. He performs monthly sacrifices at the alter of the African god Chuku. With all the murders going on the police start to get suspicous and start to poke around. With the police sniffing, it becomes harder and harder to pick up potential sacrifices and keep up a good alibi. Also featured is Diana Dors as an old flame and Suzy Kendall as a dominatrix. The film comes across more like an expanded Hammer House of Horror episode, all be it with more sadism and sex. But even with it stuffed full with cameo's from some of Britain's better know actors at the time, and a story full of salacious details, it's still manages to be a bit of a damp squib.
