mr sardonicus imdb

There is good atmosphere, with plenty of fog and shadows, and the story is intriguing, if not entertaining. 3 out of 3 found this helpful.

The Tingler, Rosemary's Baby, Strait Jacket, and Mr. Sardonicus are his most entertaining ventures. My sister has just sent me a jokey text message in response to an insult I sent her, saying that she's so shocked that her mouth is in a "fixed Sardonicus grimace of shock" - this made me laugh so much I decided to look up info on the film and here I am! William Castle usually marketed his movies with gimmicks, and for MR. SARDONICUS the gimmick was "the punishment poll." 24 April 2005 | gftbiloxi

When the film played in theatrical release, audience members were issued a voting card, and near the movie's conclusion Castle himself appeared on the screen and asked the audience to vote: show the card thumbs up to show mercy, thumbs down for none. The music by Von Dexter, who worked on several other Castle films, is also notable.

The story line is very unique, the acting is good (especially by Guy Rolfe playing the title character), and the ending is great. It tells the story of Sardonicus, a man whose face becomes frozen in a horrifying grin while robbing his father's grave to obtain a winning lottery ticket.Castle cited the film in his memoir as one of his favorites to produce. This is probably William Castle's least gimmicky, and most straight forward terror flick. Sure, the special effects are a little long in the tooth, but sit a young child down in front of this movie and watch his/her reaction when Sardonicus reveals his condition. No doubt, Mr. Sardonicus will seem awfully tame to younger audiences seeking shock value and graphic gore, but to those who enjoy a more old fashioned style of horror film, Sardonicus has a definite appeal.

Music is by Von Dexter and Burnett Guffey is the cinematographer. When the film played in theatrical release, audience members were issued a voting card, and near the movie's conclusion Castle himself appeared on the screen and asked the audience to vote: show the card thumbs up to show mercy, thumbs down for none. Sir Robert becomes apprehensive when his inquiries about Sardonicus are met with fear. Oskar Homolka has a gem of a role as the baron's scar-eyed manservant, Krull, who operates at his will, including the torture of maid, Anna(Lorna Hanson)using leeches!

Be the first video Your name here. It is still among his better works overall. The tale puts greed at its centre, and it is that deadly sin which is to blame for the title character's affliction. Sir Robert, the kind of gent who cares for his patients' well being, at first refuses to use a dangerous technique involving a poisonous plant, until the baron rejects no for an answer, warning him that Krull would be ordered to damage Maude's pretty face..Sir Robert and Maude were once an item and his whole reason for being in the baron's mansion to begin with was at her request.

For a low budget film, it has very good acting, an intelligent script, and a nicely done Victorian era feel to it. This movie was thought of so highly by the writers of "Wiseguy" the TV series, that they used it as a sub-plot for a multi-episode "mini-series" within the series. Baron Sardonicas' soul is black as the darkest night and he threatens to cause surgical facial damage to unhappy wife Maude(Audrey Dalton)if Sir Robert doesn't treat him of his hideous visage.

London physician Sir Robert Cargrave (Ronald Lewis) has come to visit Baron Sardonicus (Guy Rolfe) in Gorslava at the request of Maude (Audrey Dalton), the Baron's wife. Based on a novella by Ray Russell, the film takes obvious influence from George Franju's masterpiece 'Eyes without a Face' in that it follows the horrifying idea of someone having their face scarred beyond belief. I had heard about ghouls before but I thought they were some undead creatures like zombies. 33 out of 35 found this helpful.

Castle cited the film in his memoir as one of his favorites to produce. Ray Russell's plotting and dialog are pretty high quality stuff, and some of the conversations have an almost poetic quality, especially in the scenes between Guy Rolfe and Ronald Lewis.

4.2 out of 5 stars. If you enjoy 1950s horror films, check out this little-known gem. It's not long thereafter that we learn the reason for this facial deformity, as the man retells the tale of how he robbed his father's grave for a winning lottery ticket. 15 out of 15 found this helpful.
