Viewing Notes

It’d been a while since I’d watched this so felt it was time. Vincent Price is great in the lead role. This plays a bit like FRANKENSTEIN. Except for the lack of the reporter angle, this is pretty similar to the original. It’s an improvement in some areas but loses some good stuff from the original as well.
