Old castles, lightning storms, chicks in flowing white gowns carrying candelabras down corridors, disfigured dipshits locked in towers... It's all so goddamned boring. And what is with the clock that shows the hour, the minute, and the sign of the zodiac? If you need a clock to tell you what month it is, maybe it's time to curb the boozing a little bit.

At least this flick doesn't drag out the big mystery of what's in the tower. Thirty minutes in the guy in the know just throws up his hands and is all "Okay, fine, we keep a crazy person up there!" Of course the crazy guy escapes, but even with him on the loose, a murder or two, a chick getting entombed alive, and some last-minute Scooby-Doo maneuverings, this isn't a very interesting movie.
