Homicidal (1961)
Starring: Glenn Corbett, Patricia Breslin, Jean Arless
Writer: Robb White
Director: William Castle
Synopsis:
A vicious murder of a justice of the peace leads the police to Salvang, California, where the murderer, Emily, lives. As we delve into Emily’s life, we see her erratic relationships with her family and friends, and we learn about an inheritance worth millions.
Review:
Call William Castle a ripoff or a hack or whatever; the fact still remains that he was a genius at marketing his movies. Even the gimmicks that didn’t work were super intriguing. For House on Haunted Hill- filmed in Emergo, wire attached skeletons flew over the audience. The Tingler- filmed in Percepto, vibrating buzzers were used under the theater seats. 13 Ghosts- filmed in Illusion-o, the audience were given ghost viewer’s/removers. And that brings us to Homicidal, which contains a Fright Break- a 45 second timer...
