Review of The Terror

The Terror (1963)
3/10
Other than seeing a young Jack Nicholson and an old Karloff this one isn't really worth seeing.

You get to see Nicholson and Karloff, that makes it somewhat watchable, but the muddled story and the lack of anything really exciting happening makes this movie a bit of a bore. Well one person is killed in a rather gruesome way, but other than that nothing much happens. This one has Nicholson as a soldier who is seperated from the rest of his troops. He meets a girl who seemingly wants to lead him to his death. He eventually stumbles upon an old castle and inside is a bit of a crazy old count. Nothing really shocking about it as it is a bit more mystery than horror. The mystery I am afraid is a bit to confusing and rather pointless to be very good. The end revelation is very stupid as it does not seem to add up at all. Still though you do get to see an old actor on his way down and a new actor (at that time anyway) on his way up.
