If you are strictly into Horror you may not enjoy it. Is a special, sensitive, little gem of a movie. Put it on late at night when you are not in a critical mood and re-embrace your innocence. And enjoy this unusual, unappreciated piece of Filmmaking.
I didn't enjoy it much in my first viewing, about 4 years ago, but last night I re-watched it and liked it a lot. It was beautifully filmed; loved the atmosphere, and the little girl gave an amazing, moving performance, as well as the old lady who befriended her. Oh, and finally the gorgeous, mysterious Elizabeth Russell was given more than one line and much more screen minutes in a Val Lewton movie!

I liked it more than I thought I would. excellent film When there's no more room in hell, The dead will walk the earth...
I did watch this film expecting it to be a horror movie, but was not disappointed at all when I found out it wasn't. It is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen. The ending of the film actually brought a tear to my eye. I am glad I watched this movie.
Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.
I totally agree with you, genre. I love this movie. It is my favorite Val Lewton movie and i love them all. This one stays with me. Ungorgettable.
