Quick Hit

The Horror of It All has a clean hook and isolated moments that almost save it, which keeps it well below the line. There’s some life in it, but not enough.

Full Take

There’s a real hook here, but the follow-through decides the damage. The craft is either locked in or hanging by a thread, and this movie knows it. 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.
