For many years, my wife has marveled at my ability to finish any movie I watch...even if they are really horrible. Well, truth be told, I've met my match with "The Dungeon of Harrow" as I found myself unable to finish it, as the movie is just amateurish and stupid. I can clearly understand why they allowed this film to pass into the public domain.
The film was made in the filmmaking Mecca, San Antonio, Texas and is about a family of weirdos that our boring hero meets after becoming shipwrecked. From the second he and the Captain of the ship land, you hear the hero's thoughts...and they sound EXACTLY like a 12 year-old trying to write a Gothic horror story...and a not particularly talented 12 year-old at that! The film is incredibly talky and has some of the worst narration and dialog I can recall. It comes off, like the acting, as very amateurish and silly. In fact, that is about the nicest thing I can say about the film...amateurish and silly. Not especially frightening...just boring and very poorly made in every possible way.
