SHOCK(1946)
In the set: 100 Greatest Cult Classics


You know with Vincent Price you just can't do
wrong! In this offering a woman sees a man(Price)
kill his wife through adjoining windows! They
send the woman to see a psychiatrist to see if
he can help her! Turns out the psychiatrist is
the self same killer!! Sadly, the picture and
sound in this is not good! Watchable but not
very clear! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Some gifted people went to work on this one,
including director Alfred Werker and star Vincent
Price, but it doesn't work due to a slow pace
and the absence of much movement within the film.
There are too many scenes of people plotting
evil deeds while a patient lies in a comatose
state in bed. This does not make for an exciting
movie experience. Nor is the story original, as
it is hand-me-down Cornell Woolrich stuff about
a young woman who witnesses a murder who is
whisked off to a sanitarium by the killer,
who just happens to be the psychiatrist who
runs the place. The dialogue is mediocre
and the actors, aside from Price, none too
thrilling. I did like Reed Hadley as a
police detective, whose late entry perks
up the last part of the movie. He had
a quiet, understated presence, and plays
off nicely against Price, than whom he
is almost as tall. - telegonus
