This is one of the few times where the remake is better than the original.

Amateurish and crude, William Castle's film is better known for its aggressive publicity campaign.

It falters just as most of today's movies falter: too much emphasis on effects and not enough on characters.

To be from 1960, this is a really good horror. It is definitely worth watching, at least once.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Loved the opening and effects but the story was a little cheesy. Tim Treakle

It’s not all that scary, but with its suburban vibe and spooky effects, it’s a solid pick for anyone into the eerie and strange.
