A Study in Terror (1965)
Directed by James Hill
Quick Hit
A Study in Terror throws horror on screen with real nerve, but the finish is a little thin. Not flawless, but it gets the job done.
Full Take
The setup has teeth; the payoff decides whether it bites. It lives or dies on execution, not reputation, and that matters here. British genre discipline gives the film a cleaner shape than many of its pulp peers. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s the difference between a curiosity and a real hit.
