I liked it more on a recent rewatch, but the script’s pretty weak. Terence Fisher’s moving camera and (especially) Peter Cushing’s energetic, heartfelt performance are the best things about it. And the ending deserves all the plaudits it receives.
That said, ultimately my heart’s more with ’30s horror’s black-and-white eeriness than with ’50s-’60s horror’s blood and bosoms.
