| User Reviewapollo rVincent Price as a madman? Brilliant!!! And this may sound lame, but this movie is the title of Ozzy Osbourne's first solo album after booted out of Black Sabbath, with the greatest guitarist ever in my books; the late talented Randy Rhoads. |

| User ReviewBrian BWow, where did this one come from? I've seen a lot of Vincent Price movies, but this one came on one night on Turner Classic Movies. I had never heard of it so I gave it a try. It was one of his best for sure. |
| User ReviewWil RGrim retelling of the story "The Horla" by Guy de Maupassant, Vincent Price does admirably as the tormented protagonist. Wonderful, colorful sets and interesting subtext. |
| User ReviewBrian CA great "creature feature". Must we deny the existence of the Horla? Ian Wolfe makes a fine character again. |
