  A strong sense of mystery is certainly the best aspect of this Lovecraftian tale of gothic horror. The mystery - what is in the shuttered room - is the driving force of the narrative, but isn't just enough to sustain a 99 min runtime (one mystery element can only carry a picture so far). The performances are adequate (especially by Reed) and the locations do add a creepy atmosphere, but the film suffers from workmanlike direction, unnecessarily cheesy elements (such as a fight scene of kung-fu-like proportions), a score that is too upbeat to add menace, and a revelation to the mystery that is a real letdown. Still, it is more subtle and demonstrates admirable restraint when compared to most horror films of its ilk, relying more on suspense and mood rather than shocks and gore, and for that I prefer this over other similar works.

  Saw this on t.v. back in the early 70's. Carol Lynley is always great to watch. The 'monster' in the movi is an insane aunt. But the thrills are there. Worth watching.
