My Review-

Well this was WAY better than the remake that came out in 1999, plus it had Vincent Price. Even though this is the first ever film that I have watched Vincent Price in I really liked him in here and can see why he was a well known horror icon. Even though for the 50s the effects were really cheesy it still paid off in the movie. This was possibly the shortest horror film I ever watched it, but everything paid off at the end. Also some of the characters reactions to something scary in the film was pretty darn funny and it was interesting to see the reactions to these types of things from that time era, and how much it has changed to the horror movie reactions today. I would recommend this film to all horror fans because it is a good watch.
