Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The cheapo horror king's first venture in the genre. Not as good as The Tingler, though it gets a good start by being set predominantly in a foggy cemetery, where a frantic search is going on for a child supposedly buried alive in one of the graves. But then rather laborious flashbacks start explaining the whys and wherefores of the mystery with small town 'revelations' in the Peyton Place manner.Author: TM
