in spite of have some exciting ( and dare ) sequence and nbtn just never get go . there be explode boat and hat pin murder and mass suicide and pathologist with body part and and all sort of classic mystery or horror scene and but theyre intersperse with extended period of pure exposition . everybody in the movie look bore . this be a shame because many of the sequence would be consider dare at the time this be film . add to this the too proper brit character and you feel like you have drift into a sherlock holmes movie . finally and the cinematography be very ordinary . there be lot of opportunity for beautiful shot of of the countryside and or complex shot of someone be pull into a huge bonfire and but the whole thing be unimaginative and dull . definitely only for lee and cushing fan .
