The Screaming Skull (1958)
An Enjoyable Horror Film
10 July 2006 - 4 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
I wouldn't say I disliked The Screaming Skull, but I neither would I say I loved it. The version I watched was pretty poor quality, so bits of pieces of conversations were lost to me, but even so I found the movie highly enjoyable. Technical issues aside, the story was strange, if not overdone at this point. I feel the actors played the parts well, maybe a little bland, but it got the job done. Part of the story played out as a mystery, and the other part has a supernatural tinge to it that takes over by the end. As most movies of this era, it has a bleak ending that comes on abruptly and in an odd point, leaving questions unanswered.
All in all it was an enjoyable film that most fans of older horror will appreciate.
