It is extremely frustrating, really. Karnstein was pretty Mu-ha-ha-villain, but I found him enjoyable and pretty young Frieda rather despicable little bully. Cushing´s stereotypically "evil member of older generation terrorizing young" had touch of tragedy; it´s probably more Cushing than character but when he says sadly that he has always tried to be a good man, I sympathize with him.

I did enjoy the movie.dfordoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02306293859869179118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5652234729744168364.post-76422394325588645092013-01-26T17:54:04.983+11:002013-01-26T17:54:04.983+11:00I think I may have enjoyed the film a little more ...I think I may have enjoyed the film a little more than you. I thought Thomas, while not as dangerous as Lee or even Lugosi, did an adequate job conveying menace. Yeah, the Collinson twins did not display much if any acting acting chops though the bad sister seemed to convey the needed wickedness the character called for. Her sister however was a nonentity save for the cleavage. Cushing's character managed to get some sympathy from me. He was not out and out evil but was seriously misguided to the point that yes, the evil that resulted was far worse than what the vampire was doing.Khohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024135831646878992noreply@blogger.com
