Palance is good, but...

Jack Palance makes a good Count, and there's some talent in the supporting cast (Simon Ward, Nigel Davenport, Fiona Lewis), but the film itself is pretty lacklustre. I don't know whether the money ran out, but the final third suddenly feels rushed, with all suspense going out the window. And the last 20 mins just feels like an exercise in box-ticking. I expected better from Dan Curtis. 5.5/10
