Looking at Speculative Fiction from Another Dimension.

“A Clockwork Terror” aka “Murder In A Blue World” comes to Scary Movie Saturday!

A Clockwork Terror

In effort to dispel the rumor that Streebo is a film snob – we’ve decided to feature one of the lousiest low rent A Clockwork Orange rip offs that we could find. It sounds like a cool greasy setup but ultimately the movie has no direction and can only be enjoyed for the production value and the sheer moxie that it takes to so brazenly rip off one of the medium’s masters in Stanley Kubrick. There is even a point in the movie where the characters are about to watch A Clockwork Orange. That’s right – we’re talking A Clockwork Terror aka Murder In A Blue World starring Sue Lyon of Lolita fame!

Sue Lyon in Murder In A Blue World


From the IMDb reviews: “This movie is OBVIOUSLY (and quite blatantly) inspired by Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange”. In fact early in the movie, right before a family is attacked by a group of “droog”-like bikers with bull-whips, they are actually settling down to watch “A Clockwork Orange” on TV!(it’s hard to imagine even in a futuristic film like this THAT movie showing on television in what was still Franco’s Spain at the time). There’s also other blatant references to other Kubrick movies. The female protagonist has a copy of the infamous Vladimir Nabokov novel “Lolita” on her nightstand, and the film adaptation of that was also directed by Stanley Kubrick–and Kubrick’s “Lolita”, of course, was played by Sue Lyon, who plays the female protagonist of this movie!”

It hits you over the head and wears a sleazy heart on it’s sleeve. I think it’s a piece of greasy flotsam so why not share it with all of you. So without further ado here’s the best and worst of the A Clockwork Orange ripoffs – Clockwork Terror aka Murder In A Blue World.
