Crucible of Terror is a 1971 British horror film and directed by Ted Hooker and starring Mike Raven, Mary Maude and James Bolam. It was written by Hooker and Tom Parkinson. Its plot centres on a reclusive artist in Cornwall. Besides painting young women, he has encased the living body of one in plaster and poured into it, through an eyehole, molten bronze, which killed her, made a cast of her body and turned it into a beautiful sculpture. After the bronze sells at a good price, he finds a 'suitable' second woman and attempts to do the same. But before he can, he meets a grisly demise at the hands of the first woman, a member of a 'weird sect', whose spirit has possessed the body of the second woman.
A deranged sculptor who creates particularly lifelike bronze sculptures edges to the brink of artistic success when the art market latches onto one of his masterpieces. No one realises that he is a maniac who uses real women as moulds for his sculptures, but lurking inside his latest work is a live model hell-bent on avenging her submersion in liquid bronze.
