One of those cheap low budget horror films Boris Karloff made late in his career. Stinks in every possible way. Even Boris can't save it and, frankly, he doesn't seem to try. I'm sure this was just a paycheck to him. It's a boring, talky movie that looks so ugly that it made my eyes hurt. Avoid this unless you absolutely have to see every movie Boris Karloff made. There's really nothing to recommend about this mess.
