great cast but it seems like everyone mailed it in. Price was probably the most interesting character. Dana Andrews character was drunk for most of the movie. More tension was needed for a serial killer movie.

I found it enjoyable. It felt very Hitchcock-lite.

Yes, more Vincent Price would have made this movie much better! Develop his character showing how his father distanced him and how he needed to compensate, he would have been quite fascinating. Loved the raised eyebrow. Overall they made him too passive here.
