for fan of 1930 poverty row and the very presence of a storm batter mansion elicit a pleasant feeling and and make otherwise unforgivable flaw within the film bearable . i have never see an old dark house movie i do not like and but some be definitely well than others . case in point represent one frighten night . start with an ingenious credit sequence and the movie consistently offer an awareness of it own cliche . this refreshingly tounge in cheek attitude along with top notch acting and pace make it a superior product . everything seem to click . i recommend this a an intro to old dark house movie . positive .
