The rule is "don't show the monster", & this scene is why. Oh, you paid for this? Better show it several times & completely destroy its plausibility.
"What about Charles?"
And back to the Poe poem. Hrmn.
Middle of this was *awful*. Curwen's plot never made sense. Everyone kinda just fucked around until the mob came for them.
Great castle, tho!
★★½☆☆ I guess?

What even is this. Who sends a critic to roust a bunch of junkies from their squat? Or to investigate a murder? "He's been cut to ribbons!" "Good heavens! Harrumph! We could not be more English! Wat wat." So in this film, they bury critics in Christian graveyards? Nice horsie with a little Troillus & Cressida action. The detective? looks exactly like Sam Waterson from Law & Order. And Diana Rigg!!! Some M. appeal at last. #monsterdon #theatreOfBlood1973
