...the movie is not terrifying, but it is never less than fascinating.
...more of a mystery yarn, a tall-tale if you will, than a horror movie, although it is big on mood and atmosphere.
An enthralling weirdo horror thriller directed by Tod Browning.
Though it might not be the climax to Browning's distinctive career in the genre one might have wished, it's certainly a worthwhile film.
One of Browning's more bizarre and enjoyable entries.
