I kind of like this movie. Emby Mellay has a lovely alluring and sensual presence about her as a man she never knows approaches her and charms her, but the plot has a ridiculous nonsense in it that really keeps it from being a much better movie. It seems that she is a witch who has a pact with the Devil to keep her young and beautiful. it could have stayed there but there are dumb murders and an actress (or actor) in an awful old lady outfit. Just when you accept the movie with its foreshadowing and halfway charming atmosphere, the guy does the dumbest thing in the world. Sort of like "Psycho" or "The Undead" in reverse, the closing scene kills the whole movie.
