Under-rated horror/thriller movie, 4 April 1999
10/10
Author: Merv Lowe from Auckland, New Zealand

One of my all time favourites; it really scared the hell out of me as an 11-year-old in 1962, and I have such vivid memories of the appearance of the 'corpse' scenes, that I'm sure, even in the 90s this movie is sure to rattle you. Best watched in the daytime - with the curtains drawn open!
