I like Vincent Price films including my favorite, Ligeia, and The Fall of the House of Usher, and the highly amusing and entertaining Comedy of Terrors from the exact same year as this snoozefest.
If you are planning on taking a nap and would like to fall asleep to some soothing Hammer-esque sets mimicking the 19th century, this flick is for you. You'll have pleasant dreams about foggy forests, New England taverns and some people in Victorian costume with really bad Halloween make-up on, pretending to be blind.
It's not so excruciating that I couldn't pay attention at all or had to turn it off, but it's laughably dated, and I don't understand exactly why this one seems so boring and silly compared to some of Price's other Edgar Allen Poe inspired films.
