Review of The Old Dark House

Inventing the Horror House genre, this Pre-Code Hollywood film (that was considered lost until 1968) is a gem in being interesting with somewhat complex psychological happenings and a lot of black humor, especially for its time. The film is one of the Universal Horror Movies of the 1920s-1950s starring Boris Karloff and was released only two months before The Mummy (1932 film). It also stars Gloria Stuart - most people will know her as old Rose in Titanic (yes, she was born in 1910. She also acted in another Universal Horror feature The Invisible Man (1933 film) which I rated 9/10!) I'd rate this film 7/10, but the abrupt end let so many questions unresolved that I couldn't believe this is the end of the film. I had to degrade it to a 6/10. Pity! It could've been an 8/10 with a better end (or at least one that feels like an end at all). I recommend watching this movie.
