Movie Reviews of Experiment in Terror
Movie Review: DARING
Summary: 5 Stars
this one was very daring for it's time. the opening score is one of the most ominous music compositions i've ever heard. it's simple but terrifying. you know from the beginning that "something" is going to happen and it does. a woman is manipulated and extorted and threatened all in the first 10 minutes, inevitably compelled to involve the FBI. to divulge any more of this ominous little film would be unfair. a thriller in the most definitive form of the word. it boasts two of the best actors ever to grace the silver screen: Glenn Ford and Lee Remick. this was director Blake Edwards sole attempt at a dramatic film. this attempt proved to be sufficient. it's a cinematic masterpiece. watch it with the lights out!!!!as for the DVD, not much in extras but the transfer and audio are very good.
Movie Review: Intense!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this in the theater as a kid and was literally glued to my seat. Masterfully directed by Blake Edwards, it is the story of the extortion of a beautiful bank teller (Lee Remick)whose sister (a very young Stephanie Powers)is kidnapped and being held for ransom. The ransom is that she rob a bank for the extortionist (Ross Martin). The acting is so intense you become completely caught up in the story. The cinematography is wonderful with an unforgettable ending in Candlestick Park. Not a weak link in the film. Glenn Ford plays the FBI agent determined to track the extortionist at all costs. In my opinion this is one of Blake Edwards best films that has received very little fanfare. Great story, exceptional cast, a film not to be missed.Movie Review: a gem from the latter days of the film noir era.
Summary: 5 Stars
Experiment in Terror is one of those now rarely seen films from the tail end of the
film noir era.
Made in 1962 by Blake Edwards, who would later go on the make the Pink Panther films and Victor/Victoria, starring his wife Julie Andrews.
This film showed what might have been, if Edwards had of kept on making detective and film noir thillers, instead of light fuffy comadies.
A real edge of your seat movie.
But I would like to know why the Marketplace Sellers want so much for this film
on dvd. 60.00 buck is an outlandish price for a film, just because it's on dvd.
Movie Review: Experiment in Terror
Summary: 5 Stars
Blake Edwards, best known for comedies, shows he can pull off thrillers with equal skill. Make no mistake: this one is lean, gritty and frightening. Remick is solid as a victim ripe for the plucking, and Ford appropriately stolid as the dedicated Ripley. And villain Martin (who'd go on to play Artemus Gordon on TV's "The Wild, Wild West") will make your skin crawl with that wheezing whisper. Be warned: not for the faint of heart.Movie Review: Thrilling masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a masterpiece of suspence, you never know what's going to happen next. And the music, the music just enhance it all. What a movie. I haven't seen many movies like this.
