Viewing Notes

Glad this was mentioned again recently because I had forgotten I had this from Netflix and it’s another ideal film for my 31 unseen horror films in 31 days challenge. Plus it has the trifecta of horror actors: Donald Pleasence, Martin Landau, and Jack Palance! If only this movie equaled the sum of its parts. Still a fun thriller with some good kills but sort of flops its way thru to an unsatisfying finale.
