The mix of methodical investigative protocol and aberrant psychology against a twisty San Francisco backdrop (including a climax at Candlestick Park during a Giants game) anticipates Bay City thrillers from Dirty Harry to Zodiac.

After Carpenter and De Palma, it may seem a little dated; yet Edwards' classical feel for pure cinema remains unalloyed.

Aptly grants a satisfyingly original murder-mystery experience.

This stylish noir thriller is one of Blak Edwards' best films and one of the genre's highlights, well acted by Lee Remick, exquisitely shot by Philip Lathrop, and moodily composed by Henry Mancini, who contributes a great jazz score

Audience Reviews for Experiment in Terror

Oct 23, 2020If I taught a filming class I'd have Experiment In Terror in the syllabus under "Opening Scenes," as director Blake Edwards does a phenomenal job of establishing suspense, mood, and detailing the movie's premise in the first ten minutes. Credit goes to Henry Mancini's memorable score and Lee Remick's woman-in-danger lead role.Aldo G Super Reviewer

Nov 28, 2015Blake Edwards' taut-suspense classic about a beautiful bank clerk, played wonderfully by Lee Remick who is terrorized by a murderous asthmatic-voiced extortionist, chilling played by Ross Martin, that is planing to use her to steal a $100,000 from the bank where she works. An FBI agent, superbly played by Glenn Ford, that Remick managed to contact is now aiding her in trying to apprehended the psychotic Martin who has threaten to kill her and her young sister. Exceptional direction by Edwards, who gives his thriller some serious edge-of-your-seat moments. Solid, convincing supporting performances by Stefanie Powers, Roy Poole, Ned Glass, and Aita Loo. Glorious black & white cinematography by Phillip H. Lathrop, and a great Henry Manicini score. A realistic and compelling motion picture thriller. Highly Recommended.Danny R Super Reviewer

Dec 13, 2011If you have patience to sit around & wait for something to happen then watch this movie but if you don't........ I found Experiment In Terror to be boring & the only thing I enjoyed about it was the opening scene & the bathroom scene towards the end.Other then that, I felt like I was watching some cheap old low budget B/W cops Vs. criminal B movieBrody M Super Reviewer

May 06, 2010like a bridge between film noir detective stories and the modern thriller, this really was an experiment on the part of blake edwards, much better known for his light comedies. made immediately after the charming if over-rated breakfast at tiffany's, the film pioneered techniques used to great effect by depalma among others in the 80's. it looks a little dated now but this is a solid and influential piece of workStella D Super Reviewer
