Title: Great schlock...not great film
Review: I must disagree with the other reviewers. This is NOT a great film. It is a great schlocky B movie. Wonderfully bizarre-- yes. Great film making, great acting, scary-- no. Essentially you have a quickly made, low budget thriller here that benefits from Robinson and a teenage Julie London with a massive dose of heavy-handed freudian symbolism. The hero tells his girlfriend that he'll have to "bust open" the "red house" to get to the bottom of the mystery. Hmmmm. Robinson's character seems to have a sexual interest in his adopted daughter. All that and a big bad wolf character that seems to hang out in the woods all day (and night) looking for stray girls. Lots of fun for those interested in this type of thing. I can imagine the college crowd eating it up over beers.
