Now, this movie is pretty much what you would expect from corman. maybe a bit above from its usual budget since it was made right after "house of usher", but still is kind of a ghost story in a fortress set in spain. obviously the tone is scary, the music, the waves breaking the set pieces inside the palace.
francis bernard comes to check his dead sister and discover the misterious circumstances of her death. the movie starts with small hints something was wrong, until it becomes more intensified by some noises and voices they start hearing until the ending...that i actually thought it was good and engaging.
price does a bit of the overacting i think we love. i do completely. he's the husband of the guy's dead sister and his family has a dark past. the characters aren't exactly an example of huge complexity and density but at the same time they're not just pawns. there is some richness in the characters even in an 80 minute low budget film.
i did like the scenarios even though they were cheap: but they still worked. i wasn't exactly scared but i was entertained and wanting to know what was happening there. at the end of the day, that's the most important: the movie being able for the public to invest in it. it's a good hauting story with some twists and turns, a vicent price that was having fun, and a film that knows how to build tension until it explodes on us. if you like these type of stuff i definitely think you should check it.
i need to see films with price and karloff together...
