I think sometimes it is perceived as a bit creaky because it went public domain and therefore no good elements were ever retained so the washed out film and crackly soundtrack detracts from the experience, as well of course, the old fashioned acting styles. if it had a restoration like Bela Lugosi's Dracula and The Old Dark House i think its reputation would skyrocket. i rate it in the top echelon of golden age horror. |
It's not the creaky aspect of it i don't think. The weird thing is, the release i have (Legend Films restoration) looks splendid and was restored 'under the creative direction of Ray Harryhausen'.
It's only 63 minutes. I'll watch it tonight.
