Absolutely agonising until the hilarious final few minutes in which it resembles about seven or eight different movies being thrown together at the last moment. Nothing that transpires during the finale appears to have anything to do with what came before it and, for a few fleeting moments, it's almost genius. Still.... 1/10
Bette Davis is insanely good in this, playing the ceaselessly cruel widow who delights in the abuse and degradation of her grown children. It's an unheralded gem and between this, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? and The Nanny, Davis has given three of my favourite antagonist performances. She really was great when playing brutal psychopaths.
Surprised this isn't on any official lists. It's a laughless comedy, to be sure, but it's also the kind of film that I'd expect to creep onto at least one or two lists.

What I call a Cheese & Jam horror, bloody and bad in a strangely beguiling way. It has its moments but it's too awkwardly executed to get a pass.Movie comment on The Great Train Robbery

A fairly pitiful detective story with inane twists and comical characterisations. The last-act showdown is a particularly grievous mess.Movie comment on The Gatherer
