Title: Not what I was expecting.....................
Review: .....but that's a good thing! I love all of the William Castle films, but had never seen this one---heard lots about it, and that it used to scare my friends when they were little and it was on T.V.. Well, I'm 50 now, and thought I should check this one out, seeing as I have all of Mr. Castle's other films. I was really pleasantly surprised---it's somewhat of a period piece, taking place in London in the 1880's, and the look of the film is very atmospheric. I don't think today's kids would be scared of it at all, nor do I think they'd actually stick with it and watch it all the way through------it's quite talky compared to the other Castle films, but I actually enjoyed that about this film---great character development, fantastic story---this is one of those movies to watch on a rainy day, all hunkered up on the couch. Really glad I bought this!
