Sadly, one of the weakest Lewton films. One-dimensional story basically laid bare from the opening title card, so every subsequent plot point can be easily guessed. Lewton recycles from his earlier works and Karloff is no great asset, sporting a curly mop of grey hair that makes him look like a depressed clown. Apparently Karloff suffered from spinal pain that necessitated surgery around the time of filming, but still, this film is a mess!
