Back when Jack Nicholson was a Hollywood unknown appearing in Roger Corman quickies such as Crybaby Killer and Little Shop of Horrors, it wasn't unusual for Corman to make a movie in just a few days. That was the case with this nifty little thriller, which was filmed in just three days using the same sets that Corman had used in his Boris Karloff thriller The Raven, which Corman had finished ahead of schedule. In fact, the sets were being torn down almost as fast as Corman could film them, but that hasn't stopped this moody little gem from acquiring a modicum of cult status over the years. Karloff plays the alleged baron of an isolated castle on the Baltic coast, where a Napoleonic officer (played by Nicholson!) appears after becoming intrigued by the presence of a mysterious and beautiful woman. Karloff's baron has a dark history, of course, and creepy atmosphere makes up for the minimal plot, which makes The Terror a vintage treat for horror fans. --Jeff Shannon
Product Description
A young officer (Jack Nicholson) in Napoleon's army finds himself lost along a stretch of beach, where he is seduced by the beautiful Helene (Sandra Knight). His obsession with this woman leads him to the castle of an elderly baron (Boris Karloff) who finds himself tortured by the ghost of his wife. Is Helene this ghost, or is she merely the pawn of a witch intent on having the baron commit suicide? With a creepy score and macabre settings, this chiller will have you on the edge of your seat.
