Tales of Terror (1962)
Directed by Roger Corman
Quick Hit
Tales of Terror has a clean hook and a few strong choices that stick, which keeps it comfortably above water. Not flawless, but it gets the job done.
Full Take
You can feel the movie reaching for a hit from frame one. The craft is either locked in or hanging by a thread, and this movie knows it. Once the mood is set, everything comes down to whether the film can cash in its own setup. The set pieces are what matter, and this one gets some mileage out of them. That’s why it lands at SOLID.
