Steven Price (a very hammy Rush) is a wealthy amusement park owner who invites several strangers to his shrewish wife`s birthday party, this year held in the abandoned Vannacutt Institute for the Mentally Insane. There, he offers a prize of one million dollars to each party-goer who can spend the entire night in the creepy and cavernous building. As Mr. and Mrs. Price play a bitter game of cat and mouse, the guests begin to think there are more ominous forces at work, especially after the body count begins to creep higher and higher. A remake of the 1958 low-budgeter starring Vincent Price.

Jungle Holocaust (DVD)
Ruggero Deodato directed this cannibal movie just before his classic CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, the acme of the popular Italian cannibal subgenre of horror films and generally considered the most disgusting and vile movie ever made. Massimo Foschi and Ivan Rassimov star as Robert and Rolf, two scientists working for an oil company who lead an expedition to an island near South America. Soon after arriving, things begin to go awry, as they gradually begin to realize that they are trapped in the jungle with an ancient cannibalistic tribe. When two members of the team are captured, along with the entire advance team, Robert and Rolf must find a way to infiltrate the cannibals` camp and free their soon to be eaten friends.
Though JUNGLE HOLOCAUST does not have the amount of gore that gave CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST its notoriety, it is considered by many to be a superior film. Like its successor, it features a host of gruesome, inventive, and sickeningly realistic cannibal sequences, as well as laughable dialogue, gratuitous nudity, and a potent sense of dread, making it a cult favorite and an incredibly shocking experience.NR"
