This film was very original in many ways. Strong story. Well Acted. Good Transitions and cinemetography on a small budget. I'm a Clooney fan, so that makes it even more fun for me. The Commentary was also very good.
On a first watch, this film was a bit of a let down. Thinking back, it was not such a bad film. As Rob Zombie's directorial debut, he takes some chances and has some fun with it. The result is less than perfect, but worth watching.
As a huge Price fan, I was a bit disappointed by this. I didnt sit al the way through it. It was very campy and Price plays the role well, just not my thing.
I'm giving this film a high rating, because I believe it was a very good film. Although, I didnt fully enjoy it. Very bleak. The villain and sequences were very menacing, which made for a good horror experience.
This film was a bit of a let down. Chaney was kind of annoying. His acting makes this film seem dated. Claude Rains was excellent though. This is the first time I've seen him in a film other than in "The Invisible Man". He adds points to this films rating. Great story though.
Quite possibly my favorite film of all time, next to the original King Kong. Clocking in at just over an hour, this film is a must see for all. Clive and Karloff's performances are just spectacular. MUST SEE!!
