I was really excited to watch this movie, so I finally sat down and watched it. I had high expectations but it let me down hard. My biggest problem is that nothing happens the entire runtime aside from the last 5 minutes which had a disappointing twist ending. The overbearing score damn near gave me a migraine, and the only "scary" thing were a few jumpscares that meant nothing.
The acting was also atrocious and greatly took away from the experience. I was constantly checking the runtime, desperately waiting for anything at all to happen but almost nothing did. And I really don't care how low the budget was or about the fact that it was made in 1962. For the record, Nosferatu, a much more unsettling and well-made horror film, was made 40 years before this. The year it was made doesn't excuse it from being sinfully boring.
