Watched this again because Dick Miller died. There is a lot of walking around. I mean a lot. Jack Nicholson, Boris Karloff do a lot of walking. There's also padding - people talking about what's happened or what might happen.
It does have atmosphere though. It looks great. I love the waves, and the credits, and the castle. I love the homey-ness of the old lady's place.
Jack Nicholson is very miscast but he's still Jack Nicholson. Sandra Knight is perfectly ethereal. Dick Miller is absurdly miscast. Jonathan Haze is fun. Boris Karloff is perfect.
This film has a magic. It is slow and confusing.
