The City of the Dead (AKA Horror Hotel in the States, because all horror films must sound like schlock) is an atmospheric black and white tale of witches who perform human sacrifice, living in a tiny, foggy town in New England. Visitors are welcome for all the wrong reasons! Part Psycho, part Wicker Man (though neither could have influenced it), it is filled with creepy performances and beautiful horror cinematography, though the first half is stronger for being more mysterious, despite Venetia Stevenson reading her lines rather stiffly. Once we know what's going on and the story pivots, it's less effective, but still comes to a great finish. Lessons I learned: If Christopher Lee tells you to go some place, DON'T. And if Valentine Dyall tries to bum a ride, don't let him into your car! Why would you trust these ghouls?! In short, a great mood piece that suggests a lot with relatively little means. Some great editing tricks in there too, I love that kind of stuff.
