This was the very first Vincent Price film I saw and I still love it now as much as I did then. I even had an artist draw me an excellent picture of Vincent from this movie that I've now framed on my wall. The idea behind being buried alive is in most of Poe's tales and I think this one is one of the best uses of that idea. All the acting is great by the supporting cast and the music is my favouri... read more

"17.2. Blu-ray Vincent Price on kyllä mahtava ukko. Kun ei tavoita Witchfinder Generalin valtaisaa pelonsekaista kunnioitusta, camppäilee, lymyilee, pälyilee ja tunteilee käsillään, kuin hartaimpana toiveenaan päästä homoikonien Pantheonin ykköspallille. Ilman Vincentiä jäljelle jäisi mm. todella komeaa värien käyttöä ja lavasteiden erinomaista hyödyntämistä. Nuoripari tekee parhaansa pitääkseen hassutason tietyllä tasolla näyttelyn pökkelyydellä, mutta tämä ei missä"
