All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

The Oblong Box (1969)

Starring: Vincent Price
Director: Gordon Hessler

Premise:
An aristocrat is disfigured during an African ritual and to protect the family, his brother locks him up inside the mansion. The man fakes his death, escapes, and starts his revenge.

My Take:
Price is fantastic, as usual, and the story is good but the just lacked something to really catch me. One could watch far worse.

Rating: In the middle
