User Reviews
ScaryFan88 – 7/10
“Classic Castle! The Tingler is a bit dated, but the sheer fun of the gimmick and the creepy concept of fear made me smile. The scene where the tingler escapes is pure gold. Definitely a must for horror history buffs.”
GoreHound – 5/10
“I appreciate the creativity but found the acting over-the-top and the effects cheesy. The shock value is there, but it didn't really scare me. Still, worth a watch for the ending's infamous twist.”
MidnightMovieBuff – 8/10
“This is my kind of horror: atmospheric, quirky, and with a great sense of dread. Vincent Price is perfect as the obsessed doctor. The whole 'scream for your life' plot is so cool. I loved it!”
HorrorNerd – 6/10
“A decent B-movie with a clever premise. The psychoanalytic angle is interesting, but the pacing drags in the middle. The last 15 minutes are fantastic though. Overall, it's a fun, if flawed, ride.”
