Death Line aka Raw Meat ~ Some Gory Stuff {for the 70's!}


Gory...great make-up, good music, what a horror should be, on most points.
What I really liked:
Pleasence is great throughout, although his performance here often gets a bit 'tiring'; that 'shag' girl Sharon Gurney, is a cutie.
What I disliked:
David Ladd is TERRIBLE..can't act his way through a wet paper bag.
And why oh why waste Chistopher Lee in this one?
As an aside: it's funny that posters here on IMDb mention Pleasence as a great actor for the Halloween series.
Here's a guy who STARTED in 1939 and appeared in 138+ movies and TV...a character actor if there ever was one...and he's remembered by most posters in the Excited States for that Halloween role!
Go figure.
And while it's watchable, it's really just a 6+ out of 10 at best, so the IMDb's rating's about right.
'You can't HANDLE the truth!'
