A woman screams over and over.
That's a promising opening for a horror movie!
And then it turned into a gun movie? The characters walk around holding handguns (party favors?) for half the movie.
This Vincent Price classic contained many chilling and grotesque moments. The pacing kept me interested, and the actors were pretty good. Modern critics too often seem to confuse B-movie budgets and effects with camp. This flick has more psychogical thriller elements than any truly obvious camp. "Camp aesthetics delights in impertinence." Rather, this movie influenced the future camp horror films that filled the 60s, 70s, and 80s theatres, much to audiences' delight.
