This one couldn't be rescued by any actor, so our hero was defeated from the start. I'm fond of it from long ago, but I still rank it 6 out of 6, the weakest in the series.kochillthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06843717929648076583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192773387267481562.post-71277538869043331462010-11-08T07:58:01.844-08:002010-11-08T07:58:01.844-08:00I hate bustin' on Creighton-- he's so belo...I hate bustin' on Creighton-- he's so beloved by Universal fans and I know all about his personal difficulties. But his self-pitying emo characters really irk me and always take me right out of the movie.<br /><br />What's worse is that I don't think that it's entirely his fault-- I think he was poorly cast in many movies, especially in these "Inner Sanctum" pictures. Think of how much different these movies would be if they had been vehicles for someone more believable in these roles like, say, Martin Kosleck.The Creeping Bridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06164625940022489443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192773387267481562.post-71997577663874928362010-11-08T05:16:19.110-08:002010-11-08T05:16:19.110-08:00Nowadays I find Chaney Junior very endearing, so I...Nowadays I find Chaney Junior very endearing, so I like these Inner Sanctums. BUT when I was a kid, I was always disappointed when one of these films would come around in an otherwise straight Universal monster schedule. My guess is that monster kids felt the same.Mirekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502496299200777562noreply@blogger.com
