This timeless classic is a testimony to the craft of director Edgar G Ulmer before his career lurched into the quickie arena.

A magnificently eerie entry from the early days of Hollywood horror.

More foolish than horrible. The story and dialogue pile the agony on too thick to give the audience a reasonable scare.

Karloff--Lugosi--Karloff--Lugosi...
October 14, 2014
This bizarre, utterly irrational masterpiece, lasting little more than an hour, has images that bury themselves in the mind.
October 15, 2008
No monsters but lots of atmosphere, this is a classic of the genre.
October 19, 2008
A dismal hocus-pocus which seems to confuse its actors as much as it fails to frighten its audience.

Edgar G. Ulmer's grandest danse macabre, a magnificently sustained trance

Sumptuously subversive... one of the very best horror movies Universal ever made.

Story is confused and confusing, and while with the aid of heavily-shadowed lighting and mausoleum-like architecture, a certain eeriness has been achieved, it's all a poor imitation of things seen before.

Wildly expressionistic, the movie has nothing to do with the Poe story from which it takes its title and everything to do with Ulmer's sense of the Nazi menace.

Ulmer never again had the budgetary resources granted him by Universal (at the time, Karloff and Lugosi were two of the studio's biggest stars), and he makes the most of them.
