1st watched 6/23/2002 - 4 out of 10(Dir-John Moxey): Overly-emphasized as being a horror movie, but instead is a murder mystery with a horror film star getting top billing(Christopher Lee). There seemed to be an emphasis as well on using the music to make us think this film is scary(loud blaring music at certain points) but I'm sorry it's not a horror film. What it is, is a very boring, and drawn-out murder mystery where we don't really care who did it in the end. Sure it has your typical twists and turns in the plot but it's pretty obvious that the man in the mask(Christopher Lee) will be revealed and be a part of what's going on and that the midget is involved somehow and the unlikely killer is just that(made out to be unlikely, but having a good motive). There is a reference made to Sherlock Holmes counterpart, Dr. Watson made in the movie but I think even Sherlock wouldn't have been happy with this slow-moving tale.
