What’s On Now?! VINCENT PRICE’s Totally Forgotten Classic “SHOCK” (1946)!!!
You Know The Word.
We All Do.
Some Of Us Use It Quite Often, Honestly.
“SHOCK“
Yep.
An Often Used Word, Indeed.
So What Would You Do If I Asked You…
"Hey There, Have You Ever Seen The VINCENT PRICE Flick "SHOCK" Before?"
??? ??? ???
Yeah.
Chances Are You’d Say…
"VINCENT PRICE Did A Movie Called "SHOCK"?!? I Hadn't The Foggiest!!!"
Okay…
…So You Might Not Say It Exactly Like That.
In Fact…
…I’m The Only Person I Know Of These Days Who Still Says..
"I Hadn't The Foggiest."
BUT…
…That’s Not The Point Of This.
THE POINT…
…Is…
…Right Now…
…At This Very Moment…
…I’m Writing To Y’all About This Flick WHILE I’m Watching It.
The Flick Is…
“SHOCK“
(1946)
…Starring…
VINCENT PRICE
&
LYNN BARI
&
ANABEL SHAW
😀
Basically…
…The Plot Is Rather Simple.
A Woman Named JANET (ANABEL SHAW) Suffers A Great SHOCK When She Witnesses A Man Kill His Wife By Bludgeoning Her With A Candle Stick…
…And Due To Said Great SHOCK, JANET Slips Into A Coma.
As She (JANET) Comes Out Of Her Coma, She Recognizes The Man She Had Seen Kill His Wife.
The Problem Is…
…He’s Her DOCTOR!!!
So Who’s Her Doctor, You Ask?!?
Why…
VINCENT PRICE
…OF COURSE!!!
😀
If You Want/Need More Info…
…Do Yourself A Favor And WATCH THE MOVIE!!!
😉
“SHOCK“
…Is A Personal Favorite…
…But It’s A Very Acquired Taste.
I Just Don’t Think Most Horror Fans Would Take To It Too Easily.
This Is More Of A Classic “Suspense” Yarn.
VINCENT PRICE Doesn’t Puff Himself Up And Over-Act In This One.
He Stays Very Calm And Almost Meek.
He’s VERY Unassuming, That’s Fo SHO.
Other Than JANET…
…I Think The Rest Of The Characters Were Dealt A Blow Of…
“SHOCK“
…When It Comes Out That The Doctor Is Indeed The Murderer.
🙂
This Film Is In Black&White…
…And Is Very Subtle.
A Minor Film That Pissed-Off A Lot Of People When It Came Out In 1946.
There Were Many MANY People Who Had Survived WORLD WAR II, But Suffered From Some Form Of SHOCK.
And Those Same People Began Refusing Treatment After Seeing This Film.
Just Goes To Show You How Powerful A Flick Can Honestly Be.
Fo SHO Fo SHO!
🙂
As I Said Before…
…Do Yourself A Favor And Check This One Out.
It’s A Real Diamond In The Rough, And A Totally Forgotten Classic.
Perhaps It’s Time To Un-Forget-It, Eh?!?
EH!?!?!
Again I Say…
Fo SHO Fo SHO!!!
😀

Robert and Katherine Thorn seem to have it all. They are happily married and he is the US Ambassador to Great Britain, but they want more than to have children. When Katharine has a stillborn child, Robert is approached by a priest at the hospital who suggests that they take a healthy newborn whose mother has just died in childbirth. Without telling his wife he agrees. After relocating to London, strange events – and the ominous warnings of a priest – lead him to believe that the child he took from that Italian hospital is evil incarnate. Written by garykmcd
The Omen isn’t messing around. It’s a movie about the child Anti-Christ after all. There was a multitude of horror movies dealing with Satanism after the hugely popular
