Reviews
“A doctor in New York discovers a bone-breaking being created by fear in humans. Loud screams allow his defense: a procedure that the fantastic horror film, which makes blood run from taps and corpses lift their heads, also suggests to its audience. "
“The fondest moviegoing memory of my youth! The best movie ever made! "
“My dearest memory of the cinema of my youth! The best feature film of all time! "
"No film made before or after it quite matches it for its mix of the imaginative, the creepy, the funny, and the downright weird"
"No other film before or after comes close to its mixture of ingenuity, creepiness, amusement and wackiness"
"William Castle has been serving some of the worst, dullest little horror entries ever to snake into movie houses"
"William Castle is responsible for one of the worst, boring little horror films that ever sneaked into theaters"
