Fuest plays up the 1930s-by-way-of-the-1970s set design, but any atmosphere gets lost in scene after scene that's lighted like a TV show.

Often amusing, occasionally sickening, always impressive for the imaginative Art Deco sets, it's pretty flatly directed.
October 19, 2016
No film can be all bad which opens in a vast Art Deco chamber... with Vincent Price, masked, cloaked and hooded, rising out of the floor at the keyboard of a Wurlitzer organ playing Cole Porter melodies.

There's camp to spare -- check out the doc's house band -- but there's also plenty of innovation on display, to say nothing of ample amounts of effective humor.

A former art director, Fuest gives the film a preposterously lush, Ken Russell-ish look. Highly enjoyable.
April 08, 2012
Arguably the single greatest AIP release made without Roger Corman on hand as either producer or director... One of Price's signature roles.

A sardonic wink, back at The Phantom of the Opera and ahead toward Phantom of the Paradise, with The Avengers as structure and plenty of Franju in the mix.

"The perfect combination of horror and humor."
March 26, 2009
Anachronistic period horror musical camp fantasy is a fair description, loaded with comedic gore of the type that packs theatres and drives child psychologists up the walls.
November 14, 2014
High-camp horror with its tongue firmly in its gruesomely deformed cheek, this British oddity features Vincent Price in one of his most memorable roles.
