I looked this movie up because it was mentioned as the inspiration for Fred Hoyle's Steady State Model of the Universe, a competitor for the Big Bang Model. I found it hard to believe, and initially thought it might be a prank on Wikipedia, but saw I several mentions in different places.

This movie scared the shit iut of me for over 20 years.particually the story about the dummy and then followed by the story of the mirrorr.What finally snapped me out of it was my daughter started imitating the dummy and she made it look hilarious to me.No more nightmares now.I was about 7 years old when I seen this on television and I am surprised my parents let me watch it.I thought the dummy had a mind of his own, at that age I didnt understand mental illness.

To my mind, one of the best b&w horror movies that's been made.

I'm an English film buff who's been a fan of this wonderful film for twenty years now.

I think this is a very fair review.

BUT!!! It seems extraordinarily "bad form" (to maintain the Englishness idiom) to show, quite literally, the key moments of the film...even the finale...

Come on guys...don't spoil the film experience for people...

[videoinformer]

@Stereolabdream I agree that this clip showed too many key scenes. I wish I had read comments before watching. I was concerned they seemed to be showing to much, kept watching, reassuring myself that a movie critic wouldn't give away more than he should. Maybe he wasn't responsible for the clip. I'm going to try to forget, then watch the movie in the distant future.

@videoinformer

Don't let it put you off! It's well worth a look.

Also, if you are, perhaps, not familiar with them-there was a TV series called "Tales of the Unexpected" from the early 1980's that is very worth while tracking down...

[MadScout]

Worth looking out for.
