3.0 out of 5 stars Chamber of Horrors, March 11, 1999

This review is from: Chamber of Horrors [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Well this is a very hokey movie but well worth watching for all you lovers of the B movies. The copy I have (not from Amazon) is a bit dark so it was hard to view... It's a funny movie, kind of a spoof on detective movies with an old spooky mansion, a not so poor damsel going there to inherit money, and a very handsome and dashing if not silly detective who follows her there for protection. The damsel inherits a key to a fortune but there are seven that are needed to get into the family tomb and get the treasure. A large Mute, a cunning and evil looking Dr, and two other family servants try their best to keep the damsel from getting her inheritance. The title of the movie comes from the Dr... he has a love of torture devices and collects them in a small museum on the family manor. The comedy relief is provided by the side kick of the detective and the damsel's young aunt who is interested in nothing but finding a man. ;) A very screwy screwball comedy/suspense. Slow in spots but worth watching.

4.0 out of 5 stars DOOR WITH SEVEN LOCKS!!!!!, March 26, 2010

I'm pleased that Roan used the original opening British credits, The Door With Seven Locks, on this feature. The American title is included as an extra, but it makes no sense to also include the British censor card as an extra instead of at the beginning of the feature. I'm assuming they used the British print throughout, although the delay as the opening credits fade out to the feature makes me suspicious. I do wish that more information would be included on DVD releases.

This review is from: Chamber of Horrors (DVD)

A young girl, Judy Landsdowne (Lilli Palmer) inherits a key that is supposed to help her claim her share of a fortune. Dr. Manetta (Leslie Banks) is intent on getting the fortune himself, but in order to do so he needs seven keys to unlock the chamber. Landsdowne is the last person on his list. She is abducted, but her handsome boyfriend, Dick Martin (Romilly Lunge) gets involved. He sneaks into the mansion, rescues his girl, and stops Manetta's evil scheme.

CHAMBER OF HORRORS is an average old-time suspense film. There's a mad doctor who collects torture instruments, a couple of sinister and obedient house servants, a sidekick, and the leading lady's best friend who is only interested in finding herself a man. There has been a crash in recent years to remake classic suspense and horror movies. CHAMBER OF HORRORS is one that is ripe for a remake.
