With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and horror fans. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 24 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1961: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
The new science teacher Dr. Julian Olcott with a mysterious past arrives in an institutional boarding school for troublemaker girls. Along the night, the intern Mary Smith, who is blackmailing another teacher - Sir Alfred Whiteman - with some love letters, is slaughtered by a werewolf. The detective in charge of the investigation attributes the crime to a wolf, while her mate Priscilla believes she was killed by Sir Alfred. On the next days, other deaths happen in the school, reducing the list of suspects.
