Ian S @RT48225084 Oct 19 Carlson and Pate held it all together. Some good visuals and atmosphere but the story needed more work. Not an unusual type of movie for the 50's but entertaining enough.

But boy, did the last 20 minutes tank. I was expecting this to be a lycanthropy story and the beau was infected. I wish it had gone that way but the ending unravelled in the most absurd way. It makes me wonder if there was a pay dispute near the end of shooting and the disgruntled director wreaked his revenge.

The setting is a vast castle and maze in remote fog-bound Scotland, where a mystery resides and is being protected by American baronet - and King of the 50s Stereoscopic Creature Feature - Richard Carlson. The big reveal at the end is laugh-out-loud hilarious and worth waiting for, and Cameron Menzies conjures a great deal from shadows and candle-light. Very enjoyable.

"I wouldn't go in there."-Simon (Owen McGiveney) See more 08/22/2012 An intriguing and effective little horror movie that has the atmosphere of an early Universal gothic horror and story that could have been written by H.P Lovecraft. Effects let it down slightly; after all the suspense the full reveal of Richard Carlson's dark secret in the maze could seem a little ludicrous. The cast are good, Carlson his usual stoical self, but Veronica Hurst shines. Willaim Cameron Menzies was involved in Invaders from Mars the same year, a different movie, but one that shares a magical quality. See more Read all reviews
