the dark castle (1952)


aka The Black Castle.
"They kill without emotion, I kill with my heart."
Sir Ronald Burton (Richard Greene) heads to the Black Forest, in search of two missing friends. He suspects Count Bruno (Stephen McNally), is responsible, and is determined to find out if his suspicions are true.
A well told gothic horror enlivened by cameo's from Lon Chaney, Jr, and Boris Karloff. My only problem is it is far too light - the black forest suggests dark foreboding, what we get is a well lit Hollywood back lot.
