Viewing Notes
A long standing blindspot so my 31 unseen horror films in 31 days challenge was the perfect occasion for crossing this off the list. Such a crazy movie with some wild characters esp. for the mid-50s. Good movie but overly long given the general premise. I think it could be more effective if it was tightened up.
