\n
\u201cJames Whale\u2019s 1932 comedy-horror classic is wonderfully subversive … combines some genuinely grisly elements with scenes that could have slipped out of a P.G. Wodehouse comedy … funny and blood-curdling by turns.\u201d Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It is a dark and stormy night and three stranded travellers hope to find shelter in a gloomy and spooky mansion. Unfortunately they have stumbled upon the sinister Femm household and the tension mounts as the experience of spending a night with them unfolds in this horror-comedy classic from 1932.<\/p>\n

\n
\u201cJames Whale\u2019s horror classic still chills … it is performed with tremendous gusto and theatrical dash.\u201d Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian<\/i><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
