Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
jacobjohntaylor1 This movie has a great story line. It also has great acting it also has great special effects 5 is a good ratting but this is such a good movie that 5 is underrating it. I give 10 out of 10. This movie is better then The Exorcist. And that is not easy to do. This is one of the scariest movies of all time. It a ghost story and it is very scary. I need more lines and I am running out of things to say. See this movie. It is a great movie. Great movie great movie great movie great movie great movie great movie great movie. See it. It is one of the best horror movies of all time. If it does not scary you then no movie will. Frankenstine (1931) is better but still this is great movie.
Rainey Dawn It's been many years since I've seen this one and I've just watched it again. I found the film quite interesting, mysterious and worth watching. I grew up on films like this so naturally I enjoy this type of horror flick.Now for a film that had 5 directors and was pieced together the movie turned out to be a good ghost story. Honestly I've seen this film before and I never knew that it had 5 directors and was pieced together - I just found that out recently.This is one of those films I call "quietly thrilling" meaning there is not a lot of action for the thrills but it has subtly thrilling moments with a bit of suspense and an air of mystery.I can say this movie is a must see for fans of Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson. Another film starring both of these wonderful actors is a comedy-horror called "The Raven (1963) " - so break out the popcorn and make it a double feature! 8/10
utgard14 Jack Nicholson plays a French soldier who becomes lost and meets a mysterious woman but she disappears into the ocean. Then there's some stuff with a bird and an old woman. Then Jack finds the castle of Boris Karloff where he sees the girl again. Boris and his servant act like they don't know what he's talking about but Jack is persistent. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense and the plot is a mess but it's still very interesting and hard to stop watching. This is a rather famous Roger Corman movie that has several different urban legends surrounding its production, most of which boil down to this: Corman was cheap so he used leftover sets and/or leftover budget from The Raven to film this one quickly. Whatever the truth is, it's a fascinating movie with many obvious flaws that it manages to overcome and still be an entertaining film. Great opening credits, too.
AaronCapenBanner Jack Nicholson stars as Lt. Andre Duvalier, a soldier in Napoleon's army in 18th century France who finds himself separated from his regiment, and asks a mysterious woman(Sandra Knight) directions, but she vanishes, and the Lt. meets up with an old witch(Dorothy Neumann) who insists that there was no such person. He doesn't believe her, and instead goes to the castle of Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe(Boris Karloff) where he discovers that the woman was the spitting image of the Baron's late wife, and that supernatural occurrences are at the heart of this mystery...Though script is haphazardly written, film is surprisingly atmospheric and entertaining, with good performances by all, and is an improvement over Roger Corman's "The Raven", which this was filmed on the sets of.Final sequence is memorable but also too abrupt, though film is an effective Gothic horror tale, despite its obvious shortcomings.
