This is a low-budget, fairly obscure b/w British horror film from 1960,starring Christopher Lee.The title used here is the American title 'Horror Hotel'; the original British title was: 'City Of The Dead'. The original ads told you to 'Ring For Doom Service'!!...nice phrase, shame about the film.Shame about the transfer too...it looks like a standards conversion from NTSC. The film is moodily shot in fog-shrouded b/w, but here the detail in the shadows is often difficult to make out,with some smearing to spoil the atmosphere created.The film contains some very poor acting,some badly written scenes...ripping off 'Psycho'...!!no less but on the plus side, the film does have good,sparse art direction. The film was, and still is? aimed at a youthful audience. In short: A slice of 1960's nostalgia,if you have a taste for it.
