I don't agree.

Rating: 4/10 (8 March 2008)

Maybe I just haven't been into the whole 50s/60s horror genre, but I fail to see what makes this movie great, apart from the ending, which I thought was pretty good.
In my opinion, this movie lacked any real sense of danger; I never felt chilled, or scared. The plot was fine, but I didn't feel like the movie came alive at any point.
The acting was decent enough, and the directing and editing was so-so. But to be perfectly honest, this looked more like a B-movie (script, plot, editing, settings) than what I expected after Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile - which I both enjoyed immensely.
In fact, I was bored for most of the film. All the scenes where a proper scare _could_ have been included, got ruined to obvious build-ups, and actors screaming before the visual part hit.
To me, this was a below average scare film. Can't even begin to compete with Tale of Two Sisters, The Ring etc. And it was a big letdown from Shawshank Redemption and Green Mile.
