Yes, yes, YES!! This is exactly the kind of stuff I was hoping to see when I purchased the Hammer House of Horror DVD box set. Fun yet not too overly ambitious tales with a large amount of ingenious death sequences, a fair share of suspense and deliciously macabre set pieces. The premise of "Charlie Boy" is ridiculously simple and maybe even a bit déjà-vu, still it's a fast-paced episode and full of effective thrills. Following the sudden & mysterious death of his uncle, Graham and his cool wife Sarah inherit his collection of African native art. They take a particular interest in a wooden, morbid-looking fetish doll and name it Charlie Boy. Naturally the thing is possessed and contains great evil powers. When Graham playfully 'requests' Charlie Boy to eliminate one of his treasonous friends and it really happens, the couple righteously begins to fear for their own lives. Director Robert Young ("Vampire Circus") often manages to capture the true Hammer-spirit here, with themes like voodoo curses and make up effects that are really bloody. The plot may be very predictable, but still the climax had me on the edge of my seat, also because you really grow to care for Graham & Sarah during the rather short playtime of 50 minutes. The "Charlie Boy" doll is quite uncanny, with its angry eyes and sharp teeth, and Peter's death scene ranks as vintage Hammer nastiness. Perhaps not the best, but definitely the most entertaining H.H.H. episode I've seen thus far.
