 Rating: - Another fine Vincent Price performanceI love this movie! It has a strange atmosphere and a unique twist on demonic possesion. Of course its always a pleasure to watch a performance of Vincent Price. Rating: - Another Fine Performance by Vincent PriceI'd never watched this movie until a few nights ago, but the description sounded interesting and I'll watch just about anything with Vincent Price in it, so I gave it a shot. My favorite parts in the movie were (1) the scene where he pulls the clay away from the sculpted head (very nice); and (2) the Horla's disembodied voice, performed admirably by Joseph Ruskin.

Which is a pity, because they're both great. Price plays a French magistrate who passes a death sentence on a convicted murderer, who insists he was driven to the act by an invisible obsessing/possessing spirit. After the criminal's demise, Price finds himself suffering amnesiac missing time episodes ... Read More Rating: - Underrated Horror of the HorlaThis is an interesting story of a worldly pernicious spirit called the Horla. The Horla uses mortal men as hosts to commit acts of mayhem and murder. Based on the story "La Horla" by Guy de Maupassant Vincent Price plays magistrate Simon Cordier who becomes enchanted by the evil specter. Price is excellent as a man who is poised in his official capacity, shows almost juvenile affection for Odette (Nancy Kovack) an artist's model he falls in love with and gains sympathy as he gradually loses all dignity under ...
