I liked the atmosphere created in the first act, but by the second the mystery is entirely transparent, which effectively removes any "horror" from stories like this. Worse, Poe neglected to see that cats are adorably cute rather than scary, and no amount of crafty staging from a talented film director seems to change that. In a showdown where Vincent Price fights the small furry animal, armed with whips and iron pokers, I was unequivocally rooting for the cat.

Complex but rather fascinating horror suspenser which rejogs familiar elements into something new; the best of the Corman Poes.

un film atmosphérique, et heureusement car il faut bien compenser le manque de dynamisme.

Arguably the smartest of all the Corman/Price Poe films in my estimation.

Rather boring, but a good looking film.

The last 20 minutes are unconvincing nonsense. That aside, this is a very well-done version of a Poe tale.

I like most of the Corman/Poe/Price movies, but this one bores me stiff

Vincent Price as chilling as usual.
