Like most good ghost stories, it's a lot of fun, even though you don't believe a word of it.

Frank S. Nugent, New York Times

A real touch of class is present in James Wong Howe's magnificent photography, not to mention Carol Borland's stunning apparition as a vampire.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out

One of the classics of the horror genre.
