Cry Terror! / USA / 1958

Hilariously bad flick starring James Mason as a father whose accidental contribution a bomb plot causes his kidnapping, along with his wife and young daughter by a sweaty Rod Steiger. Preposterous sequences include the wife, Inger Stevens, speeding to the Bronx after making a wrong turn through the Battery Tunnel – with only ten minutes to spare before Steiger takes a knife to the cherubic daughter. So! many! exclamations! abound in the dialogue throughout, and an additionally ridiculous voice-over (“the stop lights were all against me!”). Topping it all off is the hired thug hooked on “Bennies,” a.k.a. Benzedrine – this is classic camp all around.
