The directorial debut of the great Joseph L Mankiewicz, Dragonwyck is a glorious melding of Gothic chills and baroque melodrama.

Vincent Price is very good in this film, which basically just foreshadows the roles that would make him famous in the decades to come. He is properly demonic here, both in his acting, appearance, and voice. The film could have been a bit more gritty, but that would have required a different time period than the one it was made in.
