Directed by Jim Clark
A fairly forgettable horror mystery with a decent setup marred by an uninspired twist ending and an unfortunate misuse of horror icons Vincent Price and Peter Cushing. When given the right material, both of these actors can be compelling, entertaining, and even quite chilling; but with what they were given here, neither of them shine at all, and the whole movie fails because of it. Price is given a mopey, uninvolved character, whereas Cushing isn't given much to do at all (until near the end, which is where the movie starts to pick up, despite being relatively predictable). No, this isn't a bad movie. It's decent. But it could have been much more, which is really its biggest problem.
★★★★★☆☆☆☆☆
