Seeking shelter from a pounding rainstorm in a remote region of Wales, several travellers are admitted to a gloomy, foreboding mansion belonging to the extremely strange Femm family. Trying to make the best of it, the guests must deal with their sepulchral host, Horace Femm and his obsessive, malevolent sister Rebecca.

Frankly, any movie that can turn the line "Have a potato..." into one of the funniest lines in cinema history has got a thumbs-up from me. This movie is the epitome of camp horror: drunken butlers, pyromaniacs locked in the attic, mad old grannies, thunderclaps and lots of underlighting. And I have to say it works tremendously well if you don't take it too seriously. All the performances are wonderful, especially Ernest Thesiger and Eva Moore as elderly siblings who seem to spend the entire movie seeing who can overact the most. For someone who loves laughing at old black-and-white horror movies (Nosferatu is best) it was strange for me to see one that was intentionally funny. But it really is. From Morgan's overdone make-up and grunting to Rebecca Femm spooning pickled onions onto her plate, it really is hilarious. So, if your open-minded and enjoy watching people ham it up in brilliant roles, then sit, back watch this film and I think you'll enjoy it. Just don't expect to be scared by it.

Thanks! I'm always after Karloff/Lugosi/Lorre/Price/Lee/Cushing movies. :)

Why is this in lower quality section? 29.970 fps perhaps?

Oh... I see.
BTW there's actually plenty of '30s movies that are OK as much as more recent ones. This one must be really bad..
