Very well executed

Fresh and Exciting

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I'm writing this review a couple weeks after having watched the film and I can barely remember it. However, IMDB refreshed my memory and it was about a group of archeologists uncovering an ancient and cursed treasure underneath the titular tower. The film was more gruesome than I was expecting and had a decent amount of atmosphere given it's meager budget, but the story and characters were all pretty dull which really drug the film down. Okay viewing for people wanting something along the lines of a lesser Hammer Horror film.

Horror fanatics should be able to appreciate the film "Tower of Evil" from producer Richard Gordon and screenwriter / director Jim O'Connolly; it's as good - well, maybe not "good", but certainly it's as much fun - as a midnight movie can get. It gets a lot out of its main location, a gloomy looking island off the British coast where a sailor is butchered by a naked American tourist who's clearly gone mad; other dead bodies are found, and the police assume the tourist did it...but others aren't so sure, and when ancient Phoenician treasure is also found on the island, an expedition is launched not only to find out what the big mystery is, but naturally to obtain more treasure. Yup, this is agreeable "late show" horror with a strong adventure quotient. O'Connolly and a talented crew create tons of atmosphere right from the get-go, as well as a fair bit of suspense. Moreover, some horror fans will especially dig this for being on the trashier side of things, with a dose of nudity - female and male - and some juicy gore. A capable group of actors does their best with the material, and it certainly doesn't hurt at all that all of the ladies present are real lookers - Jill Haworth as Rose, Anna Palk as Nora, Candace Glendenning as Penny, and Seretta Wilson as Mae. Bryant Haliday of "Curse of the Voodoo" and "The Projected Man" fares well as stoic hero Evan Brent, and William Lucas, Anthony Valentine, Jack Watson, Mark Edwards, Derek Fowlds, Dennis Price, George Coulouris, and Robin Askwith (of various "Confessions" comedies) round out the cast. Things build and build until a very well done reveal of our murderous antagonist, and a fiery finale that brings the house down - literally. The screenplay itself isn't anything special, but it's what O'Connolly and everybody else involved does with it that matters. Those cave sets are especially impressive. All in all this is well worth seeking out for horror lovers, and it deserves to be better known. Seven out of 10.

This movie is somewhere between a slasher flick and a Hammer Horror movie.The plot is that some dead teens are found on an Island, and are followed up by some museum people looking for a lost treasure of an ancient idol of Baal. The whole Baal subplot is silly and doesn't really belong there, other than a device to get people on the island to be picked off by a rather pathetic killer.There is copious amounts of nudity and sex scenes you'd never see today because we are all too stuffy about that sort of thing.The makeup is cheap, and when you get to the money shot at the end where the monster is revealed, he looks just kind of silly.

A group of sex-starved,pot-smoking and constantly quarreling archaeologists travel to a lighthouse-island called Snape Island,where three American teenagers were butchered by unknown killer.It's reported that there is a treasure hidden in the Phoenician tomb on wind-swept isle.When they reach the shore of Snape Island they quickly become hunted and murdered by elusive killer.Ugly and gory British shocker set on an abandoned island with creepy looking lighthouse.The characters are often unpleasant and irritating,so I had fun watching them die.There is plenty of sex and nudity and the gore is quite nasty."Tower of Evil" aka "Horror on the Snape Island" will surely creep you out.8 out of 10.
