I didn't enjoy this anything like as much as the wonderful The Man Who Laughs but then this is variation on the haunted house story and whilst novel enough at the time (more than 90 years ago!) not so interesting now. Also, at the time, it seemed still necessary to have a little bit of light relief every now and again and this can grate. On the positive side the opening and closing with kaleidoscopic and superimposed imagery is fantastic but does tend to make you wish there was a little more as we cut to a rather dreary stage stage-bound, repetitive and slow moving melodrama .
