aka The Freakmaker. Dr. of Evil. Professor Noller (Donald Pleasence) is a biologist determined to give nature a nudge, or rather a wholesale kicking! He starts creating his own genetically engineered animal plant hybrids using students from a local college. He is aided by Lynch (Tom Baker), the deformed manager of a freak show. Alls going well for the pair until a visiting Professor (Brad Harris) from the US comes to view Noller's research, helped by some students (including Julie Ege, Jill Haworth and Scott Antony) who are given the task of looking after the visiting VIP, but they soon get closer to the research than they want!
A slow paced horror that combines Todd Brownings Freaks, with The Island of Dr Moreau. It has some interesting moments, but as a whole is an average horror. One for those who like the Brithorror genre, otherwise you'll probably better giving it a miss.
