Compared to the Other Corman-Price (Poe) Films of the Era, this one Doesn't Come Close.
Lacking any "Style", It seems Cheap, Claustrophobic, and has Much Less "Class" than the Others. Lacking Striking Colorful Sets and Costume with "Laid-Back" Acting and an Awkward Pace.
Price Tries to Carry the Film with its Dull Screen-Play and Supporting Actors that seem Unanimated and Stand Around a lot.
The Hauntings are Hokey and Played Almost Completely Straight, with Very Few Scares or Surprise. The Whole Production seems to be Hanging on Loose Threads,
and Corman's Trade-Mark In-House Style seems Absent. The Movie seems to be Moving on Centrifugal Motion, Rather than Low-Budget Creative Turns.
Vincent Price can't Carry the Movie on His Own and that's all there is.
A Very Mediocre Mid-Budget Corman Miss-Fire.
With Very Low Expectations, it's...
Worth a Watch.
