Fright is a British horror/thriller about a young babysitter in a old house getting spooked by faces at the window and needless to say it's soon develops into a unpleasant evening for everyone involved. It's quite well done I guess with Ian Bannen's demented performance cementing the gradual tension of the first half and he's ably supported by the cast of Minder, Honor Blackman and Susan George. Quite good fun if a little basic.
The Sorcerers is a '67 scifi/horror about a pair of geriatric techno-Mesmerists who take over the mind of a young man. Directed by Michael Reeves this feature isn't nearly as accomplished as his next film The Witchfinder General, the mind control plot is a little rough around the edges as is the acting but it's still a reasonably enjoyable chiller steeped in 60's London sights & sounds. Probably only for the curious.
