Yeah, I know, it’s a Roger Corman movie that I didn’t vengefully rate as one star. I must be slipping, but this actually wasn’t that bad of a movie. It’s got the same cast… and set… from Corman’s earlier film version of The Raven. In fact, it was filmed in the same week! Oh, Corman…

Nicholson plays a French lieutenant that’s looking for a woman (HA!) that he saw on a beach after he got separated from his unit. He eventually finds out that it’s the ghost of the wife of a local baron (Karloff, of course), and he gets mixed up in this whole sordid affair of everyone trying to figure out what exactly is going on.

What made this movie worth watching, then, if it’s got a pretty mediocre plot and it was rushed and ROGER CORMAN, after all? Uh… Well… it just kinda… was, okay? I dunno, maybe it was just Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson being themselves, who knows. It wasn’t all that bad, though, okay?
