      Remake of Castle Sinister (1948)

    Somebody's Taking The Mick - Surely?

    Recorded this from Talking Pictures and, had only been watching for 10 minutes when I realised it was another remake of Castle Sinister, which I slated in an earlier review. As I said then - Why? Same bad acting, same awful stilted dialogue, same waste of good film stock. Even the same leading lady! Is it some right of passage, or punishment for bad directors that they have to turn out this rubbish? No more please! Lay it to rest in an unmarked grave!
