Andre Duvalier,a young officer in Napoleon's army played by a young Jack Nicholson pursues a mysterious woman to the castle of an elderly Baron where he discovers that she is the pawn of an old witch bent on driving the Baron to suicide.At the ancient castle of Baron von Lepp,he notices the picture of the Baron's deceased wife looks a lot like the woman he keeps seeing.If only Andre could get the old woman to tell him the dark secrets of the Baron and his beloved Helene.Roger Corman's "The Terror" features a very old Boris Karloff,it also maintains a wonderfully gloomy atmosphere throughout,boasts some pretty decent special effects,and it actually contains a good story with some surprising twists and turns at the end.The soundtrack is quite eerie,unfortunately the pace is really slow.The film is not scary,but if you enjoy watching early 60's horror films you can give it a try.7 out of 10.
