After hearing about this film for some time listening to the Classic Horrors Club podcast, I finally decided to give it a watch.
Wow! Really, really good! Not only is Karloff amazing, the film is fantastic too. Very dark, but wonderfully acted directed.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A collision between old Hollywood and modern terror, as a fading actor faces an unstoppable killer in a hunt that crescendos at a drive-in theater. It's a lean, propulsive thriller that finds horror in everyday vulnerability.
