Featured review
Great for Vincent Price fans
Total camp, total cheese, but Two on a Guillotine is fun for a matinee with popcorn, candles, and preferably dark and gloomy weather. It starts showing the theatrical performance of magician Cesar Romero with his lovely assistant and wife Connie Stevens. He loves the thrill and enjoys coming up with new ways to scare the audience. Connie's tired of it; she'd rather raise her baby in peace.
Twenty years later, Cesar had died and reporters and friends are gathering for his funeral. He's vowed to return from the grave, and at the reading of his will, he leaves his entire estate to his daughter - on the condition that she spend seven nights in his house so that when he comes back to life he can spend time with her. Connie Stevens also plays the daughter, which is pretty cute. She's not frightened to stay in the house at first, until it starts acting haunted. Is it Cesar's return, his friends Parley Baer and Virginia Gregg, who were cut out of the will, out for revenge? It's a good thing she has the cute Dean Jones to keep her company and look out for her during her scary week. He's an undercover reporter out for a story, but soon they fall in love.
If you like Vincent Price's classic horror movies, you'll like this one. This isn't my genre of choice, but I found it entertaining. My compliments to Connie Stevens, who could have blown it off but instead gave her role as much realism as she could. She did a surprisingly good job!
