Review of Mill of the Stone Women

This film can be a little slow moving to some tastes but I found it a good watch. The plot is simple enough and the acting decent. Standing out for me was Herbert A.E. Böhme as Professor Gregorius Wahl who would do anything to keep his daughter alive and with him. It does look excellent in 'Technicolor and the interior of the windmill beautifully rendered with atmospheric rooms and props. The movie has an effective gothic ambience and the scene at the end where the dummies catch fire and melt has been done before in movies but it still gives one the creeps. There is something unnerving about melting faces.
