VIEWER COMMENT : "An enjoyable oddity of British horror. Disturbed museum curator is haunted by a hideous hulking stone statue, but when he discovers the power to control the indestructible thing he seeks out harsh vengeance.Well-made British horror film is an engaging and unique treat for those that enjoy clever and untraditional genre films. The story is solidly engulfing and nicely paced, pulling the viewer into the mystery of the Golem statue and its deranged master. The late great Roddy McDowall does a splendid performance, as usual, as our lead who's on the verge of madness. The supporting cast isn't half bad either, though they admittedly pale compared to McDowell. The other big star of this film is the Golem statue itself. The makeup work on the imposing statue is quite good and the image of that statue is something that's stayed with me for over 10 years." THE SHUTTERED ROOM (1966) aka Blood Island - "A husband and wife travel to a spooky New England millhouse that they've inherited. But they soon find out that it's already inhabited by a terrifying cast of characters." A series of horrific murders is traced to a creature that inhabits a very strange house.
