Similarly, the best horror heroes aren't ludicrous, mindless slaughterers, wreaking ever more carnage with each new frame, but are intelligent, melancholy figures caught up by forces beyond their control, poignant and even tragic in their loneliness and self-awareness. Finally, such pictures possess the style and beauty of imagery characteristic of the best films of any genre. Engrossing Film "The Dunwich Horror" (in multiples) is exceptional in all these aspects, a truly engrossing film of the supernatural that has been made with sensitivity and skill.

No doubt it cost next to nothing alongside "Rosemary's Baby," which it resembles in theme but differs in its emphasis on macabre imagery rather than highly verbal characterizations. Also, unlike "Rosemary's Baby," with its urban, everyday setting, "The Dunwich Horror" takes place in the traditional territory of the Gothic tale a eerie mansion perched near a rugged cliff high above crashing waves. To this remote place a strange young man (Dean Stockwell) lures a pretty coed from a nearby university (Sandra Dee) with, of course, horrendous intentions, none of which "THE WILD ARE HUD OVER!

See it in a Theatre or Drive-In will tipped off here. It suffices to say that he's determined to revive an ancient race of destructive supermen invulnerable to the defenses of normal humanity. Mood and atmosphere are everything in "The Dunwich Horror," which was made under the auspi-c of Roger a whose Poe films it somewhat resembles.

In regard to these films Corman has said he equates the mystery and fear of sex with that of the unknown and has exploited this relationship symbolically and psychologically. No Accident Therefore, it may be no accident that in a sense this, well-written film, so ably directed by Daniel Haller, can be taken as a projection of mythic sexual fears, especially since we're led to believe that both Stockwell and Miss Dee are virgins. They give admirable performances Miss Dee, in her credible susceptibility; Stockwell, in his ability to be both sinister and attractive as do Sam Jaffe, as Stockwell's pathetic grandfather, and Ed Begley, as a scholarly authority on the occult. But beyond all individual contributions is the lingering, overall impression of the picture itself, with its disturbing, ambiguous vision of a floating nightmare world.
