O Vincent, Where Art Thou?
Alright film, was a bit slow with the first half but picked up in the second.
But feel it would have been a lot better if Vincent Price had been in this one too.

I didn’t like the ending at all. I loved Emily, she was so sweet and pretty. The ending felt really rushed and unsatisfying—though not all endings have to be happy, this one wasn't just not happy but it was also bad.
I really liked the atmosphere and mood, how gothic it was for no reason. Also it weirdly wasn’t boring; I assumed it was gonna be a long watch but no I enjoyed it.

The 3rd act is a lot of fun but a little rushed. Shame as the 1st couple acts are a little too long but still solid. Surprisingly, the house doesn't burn down in this one. Corman clearly working outside the box (or casket). A lot more enjoyable than i expected, especially i was a little let down by the previous Corman/Poe adaptions. I still like them, but they are a little bloated.
