What cheesy Fun! This movie is not deep or profound, except for one message I will comment on later in my review. This is mostly pure, campy fun with a slight edge. The typical 1950's women who faints (eye roll.) Everyone stumbles and fumbles in every part of the movie in an attempt to put things right again. "Catch the fly, don't kill it!" and a second later the maid with that exact instruction has a fly swatter, and kills a kitchen fly. WTH?? There is one line I love when Vincent Price says "They couldn't hurt a fly." It isn't Shakespeare nor is it ever intended to be. I kind of enjoy movies from another generation. There is an innocence to these films that does not exist today. A movie without sex, nudity, excessive violence yet holds your attention. Under all the campy fun it does give us a message that is even more true today. Science can be a slippery slope and the "blessings" of modern medicine can turn into a curse. A fun, campy horror film with a interesting message for the genre. I would recommend!
