I read what this movie was about before I watched it and I figured what I might be in for. I thought this movie would not hold me over but to my surprise it did. I have recently started watching a lot of Vincent Price movies lately and find myself always entertained with his character. The Tingler was laughable at certain parts and I don't mean that in a bad way but merely in a fun way. I found myself wondering what it would of been like to see the movie back when it was made. I was really loving a part where people are in a movie theater and The Tingler is loose and the lights are off. Just listening to the peoples panics and Vincent Price yelling about the Tingler made me like the film even more. You can see the wires and the Tingler looks like some kind of a worm but it didn't matter to me since I found myself enjoying it especially considering the time it was made. There was another really great part where color was used and it fit perfect and I would say it is probably my favorite scenes from the movie next to the pitch black theater. If you are a fan of Vincent Price or fun old horror flicks I say watch it at least once and see what you think.
The special features though not many are nice to have and the sound and video of the movie is kind of what you expect nothing great but not bad or ugly. |

| I remember watching this movie on Saturday nights when I was a kid. They would show "scary movies" every Saturday night at 10:35. There were only about 8 or 10 they would show randomly. This was our favorite. We never missed it. I bought it to show at our most recent Halloween party and it was as full of suspense as I remember. Even one of our guest remembered it as the "scariest movie he saw as a kid." It was great that the movie brought back good memories for someone else,too. |

Bill Castle's 1959 scream flick "The Tingler" is a brilliant pick for your Halloween party. It has everything you want to make you scream- including Vinny Price's voice commands, towards the end, to scream. (This film, perhaps my favorite Castle production, was producer Castle's next horror project after "The House on Haunted Hill"...also very scary.)
You'll want to watch this cult movie classic in the dark... turn out all your lights, grab some popcorn, and prepare to scream! The tingler monster is totally cool (with tentacles, lobster-like body, and cute lead wires)! The wide-eyed, screaming voice, tingler-chasing acting is brilliant (the actors certainly had fun making this one) and frightening.
The motion picture presents in monochromic black and white, except for the bright red blood- just too cool! Fiend flick fanatics will love this movie, particularly the final 10 minutes, beyond words... with screams all around! Be sure to watch the "Special Features" portion of the 1999 DVD- it adds to the mayhem (and helpfully explains "Percepto").
Oh My Gosh, "The Tingler" is loose in this review...SCREAM FOR YOUR LIVES!

This movie terrorized me as a child of eight. In fact, it terrorized me so much that I watched it five times as it played at the local theater of my small town. I screamed my little head off--even when there was nothing to really scream about. It is a great horror film in black and white and only the BLOOD is in red--what a technical feat in 1957-1958! It had already played in the larger cities and those of us in small bergs had to wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait for it to get to our town. I stood in a long line to get tickets that first day as it played, a matinee. A whole row of girlie gigglers, we peeked between our fingers at scene after bloody scene, screaming and screaming.
Now the movie could be considerd schlock. But it is schlock at its best. If you want to have a scream--and a laugh, pick it up in time for Halloween. Vincent Price doing some of his best work--but the Tingler is a real scene-stealer. |

| If you're a fan of the campy Vincent Price horror genre, you will love "The Tingler". The idea here is that the tingling feeling we get when we are scared is not adrenalin after all, it is really a lobster growing on our backbones. The creature is called, surprisingly enough, the Tingler. The Tingler would continue to grow until it killed us, except for the fact that it dies (and apaprently also disappears) when it hears a scream. Pathologist Price is on the hunt to be the first to capture this creature (and with no regard for the safety of anyone). Some of the characters in this film are stranger than the Tingler - especially the owner of the movie house and his wife. Might be a little necrophilia going on here behind the curtain. Price's cheating wife is also a jewel - I'll bet you can't guess what happens to her... There is also an interesting gimmick with the film's original release, one that is fully explained in the DVD, but unfortunately not one we can share with the theatre-going audience. This is one you'll watch more than once. |
