This piss poor film was on the other night, and I MUST say that the effects looked shoddy at best. I believe the gimmick used at the time was sensurround sound for noise value, but the effects were basically cardboard rocks and a cameraman with epilepsy judging by the camera shake. Worst was cartoon blood flying up the screen when a lift full of people crashed.
Despite all the movement of everything around him, Charlton 'shoot 'em up' Hestons' wig stayed in place.

Allegedly, that soundsystem used was too powerful for some theatres, resulting in genuine cracked walls for some.

In the 50's, movie theatres in The USA had the seats wired to a low volt generator that gave tingling sensations to the audience watching 'The Shocker (Vincent Price?)' You couldnt do that now with society hell-bent on litigation. A pity, as it does sound a great gimmick. I saw a 'sensurround' film in Hong Kong called Roller-Coaster in 77 which was piss poor, but the noise felt like yer ears were bleeding. Great fun!!

yeah but he ended up in bed with karen black wonder if the earth moved for charlton.

Getting old Ace. The movie was called "The Tingler".

Bollocks! You knew what I was referring to though. Was it Vincent Price though? Hopefully getting THAT right might redeem my error

Yes, you are right on that one. I must admit I did check on "The Tingler" before correcting you....lol
