Movie Reviews

The New Yorker - 8/10 by Richard BrodyWith Experiment in Terror, Edwards, working in the familiar genre of criminal depravity, does something that may well be, for Hollywood, unprecedented: he makes a virtual piece of film criticism in movie form.
Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrBlake Edwards's 1962 film is largely a formal study, a good excuse to explore some offbeat locations in San Francisco (including Candlestick Park at the climax). Nice work, but Edwards has done better.
Video-Reviewmaster.com - 8/10 by Steve CrumOne of director Blake Edwards' best w/terrific Mancini score.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Peter HartlaubCredit the film’s modest virtues to Edwards’s undeniable verve as a visual stylist. Still, with a running time slightly over two hours, Experiment in Terror is a bit too protracted to count as an unqualified success.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 7/10 by Emanuel LevyThis stylish noir thriller is one of Blak Edwards' best films and one of the genre's highlights, well acted by Lee Remick, exquisitely shot by Philip Lathrop, and moodily composed by Henry Mancini, who contributes a great jazz score
The New York Times - 6/10 by Bosley CrowtherIt takes more than two hours to come to a solution of the problem in this film. They would do it in one hour on TV, and it would probably be every bit as good.
User Review - 10/10 by Private Uthe best 15 initials minutes of any thriller ever filmed! And to think it's Blake Edwards'!the man from pink panther, the party, victor/victoria...
User Review - 10/10 by James HIt's a tough sell to describe any film from 1962 as "frightening" to an audience today. We live, after all, in a movie world of three-dimensional buckets of gore -- not to mention terrorism in real life. So how about I just call "Experiment in Terror" "effective and creepy"? It's definitely that, in no small measure thanks to an unlikely director and a musical genius. Blake Edwards, whom most people associate with comedy (the "Pink Panther" films), made just one excursion into the realm of suspense, and it was a doozy: "Experiment" stars Lee Remick as unfortunate bank teller Kelly Sherwood, targeted by asthmatic menace "Red" Lynch (Ross Martin) to steal $100,000 from the bank where she works. Lynch, to prod Kelly along, embarks on a systematic terror campaign, including the abduction of her younger sister. Edwards filmed the movie in black-and-white, and his use of light and shadow is masterful; San Francisco at night never looked eerier. Bit by bit, Edwards reveals his villain to the audience: first shadows, then a closeup of a mouth, then a profile -- just as Lynch gradually escalates his threats against Kelly. Aiding and abetting all of this is a hair-raising musical score, courtesy of Henry Mancini. Mancini's music is creepy and crawly, like footsteps slowly advancing up the basement stairs, making their way toward you in the dark.
User Review - 10/10 by Quasar TA great villain and amazing cinematography--loved it!
User Review - 10/10 by Eric BOutstanding 1960s black and white thriller. Great story with an outstanding cast: Glenn Ford, Ross Martin (WildWildWest), Lee Remick, and Stefanie Powers.
