While looking past the blatant racism and misogyny that is often pressed to simply be accepted as "of the time", Chambers' characters are completely wooden and never develop or learn. Some of the scenic descriptions are pure poetry, but lack any real essence of horror, inciting little to no fear. ( ) no reviews | add a review
