Die, Monster, Die!

American "Reinhart" (Nick Adams) arrives in a small English village seeking the home of his girlfriend "Susan" (Susan Farmer). Shunned by the villagers, he must walk to the stately pile of her wheelchair-bound father "Naham" (Boris Karloff) whereupon things begin to become mysterious for the young visitor as he tries to find out what secrets are being kept hidden. The problem with this is that - well - nothing much actually happens. There is a very slight sense of menace, but there is nothing much by way of accumulation to that. Something is glowing in the greenhouse, and there is a rather angry woman clad in black; but for the most part we can easily guess what is going on, going to happen and the ending is straight out of the ABC of horror films set in a big house. It's well enough made, the special effects basic but adequate, and maybe devotees of Karloff will get a little more from it. For me, though, this is entirely forgettable fayre.
