Viewing Notes

The second movie at Box of Horrors 2013. Was looking forward to seeing this on the big screen having viewed my Criterion disc a year ago under weary eyes. It’s so good and even better in a theater. Really magnifies the creepiness and terror of Moreau and his house of pain. Print was in good shape too. Really cool flick and good role for Lugosi. “Are we not men?” so haunting.
