If you loved Scream and Scream Again, try The Oblong Box

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Gordon Hessler, and they both carry the dread mood tag, and they sit in Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Scream and Scream Again, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Oblong Box is

London, 1865. Heavy rain. A locked trunk. Inside: a disfigured man, hidden from the world by his brother. But secrets claw free. Soon, madness and murder stalk the gentry. A minor-key Vincent Price vehicle with surprising gore.
