Horror Thursday: The Haunted Strangler

Horror Thursday: The Haunted StranglerWhen I was reorganizing my records I use to keep track of what I've written about online, I came across a fact that disturbed me like no other. My film reviews since relaunching Sketchy Details a couple years ago have been overwhelmingly dominated by the 2000s. I do a lot more new release reviews than I did at the start of this back in 2004, but back then, I covered a lot of black and white films. I think it's a shame that I've unintentionally abandoned classic cinema and will work on rectifying that in 2014. Reviewing films like The Haunted Strangler is a good start. This Boris Karloff mystery/horror (oh, how I miss the mystery/horror as a genre) is so beautifully nuanced in a way that modern horror can never get away with. It's not perfect (it just stops at the end instead of actually reaching a satisfying conclusion), but it's a whole lot of fun to watch and dig into.
