Why?
I had been on a Vincent Price marathon and this movie just happened to start playing and I am glad I didn't turn it off.
What in the world?
A pathologist discovers that the tingling sensation of fear is actually a living thing and finds himself struggling with a specimen.
Personal thoughts
This movie was very interesting. The movie begins with the director telling us it's ok to scream. That was terrifying to me. I mean what horrors were going to lie in store after that proclamation. I think he was just trying to build up suspense because while the movie had its moments, overall it wasn't scream inducing. Besides, I wouldn't have screamed if I wanted to. I have neighbors that I don't want to upset. The tingler itself was an interesting choice for a villain. I mean the whole thing was weird. I liked how the tingler moved, but it also scared me because it is a creepy crawly. Creepy crawlys induce the willies for sure. The people in this movie were very interesting. I didn't quite understand the dynamic of the people in this house.
Score
I have to give this movie a 5 out of 10. The tingler kind of carried this movie honestly. I mean it just went around and tried to murder people and that's all it did. One thing I did find interesting was the murder that led to the Tingler. I thought that Vincent Price (pathologist) did it, but it was actually SPOILER the husband. That confused me because I couldn't quite get his motive. I mean he might have said it and I missed it, but it didn't seem all cut and dry to me. It honestly seemed like he loved his wife, but he actively used the Tingler to murder her. It was very strange.
Watch what you love,
