Watch Shock For Free

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Vincent Price plays a psychiatrist named Richard Cross. He kills his wife to be with his nurse (Lynn Bari). Unfortunately it's seen by neighbor Janet Stewart (Anabel Shaw). When her husband (Frank Lattimore) arrives home Price easily convinces him that his wife is crazy and has her locked away. Will she get anyone to believe her?Pretty bad psychodrama. It was shot in 19 days and looks it. Aside from Price the acting is downright terrible and the plot is highly questionable. Shaw especially is terrible. This is pretty much forgotten for good reason. For Price completists only.

I really enjoyed this one,, sure it doesn't have a lot of the guts and blood or scare tactics as most of the Vincent Price movies, but I felt like this particular movie didn't really need that,, a woman waiting at a hotel for her husband to come home form WW2 , get's the news that her husband is delayed but will be home soon,, so right before she goes to bed she walks to the window and witnesses something horrific ,, a man choking a woman to death.. from this point on she is rather useless, she goes into shock,, a catatonic state,, a Dr. is called in to help her and low and behold it's the same man at the window who killed the woman,, when the woman finally does wake up she tries to put out to different people that the good Dr. is the killer but no one really seems to pay her much mind,, very good movie a must see.

A very young Vincent Price before he turned to over the top horror movies.It's a silly little movie with very late 40s / early 50s psychological tripe.Some of it is reminiscent of Hitchcock in the direction. None of the acting is especially good. Price really wasn't a great actor. The other characters are horrible. Not really a good movie.The plot Dr. Cross, a psychiatrist, is treating a young woman, Janet Stewart, who is in a coma-state, brought on when she heard loud arguing, went to her window and saw a man strike his wife with a candlestick and kill her. As she comes out of her shock, she recognizes Dr. Cross as the killer. He takes her to his sanitarium and urged by his nurse/lover, Elaine Jordan, gives Janet an overdose of insulin. But he can't bring himself to murder her in cold blood and asks Elaine to get the medicine to save her. She refuses, they argue, and he strangles her. He saves Janet's life, but now faces two murder charges.

A young wife (Shaw) anxiously awaiting the return of her POW husband (Latimore) in a hotel witnesses a murder and goes into a catatonic shock. Transferred to a specialist hospice for treatment, her concerned husband begins to suspect that neither Price nor his scheming mistress Bari (also a doctor at the facility) are acting for her welfare.Latimore seemed a bit overly melodramatic in his perpetually glum, hang dog expression while Anabel Shaw had little to do but act hysterically or comatose depending on the scene. Price is convincing however as the conflicted psychiatrist torn between self preservation and the Hippocratic oath, his mistress Bari a seductive minx perhaps more sinister in her callous manner to tie up the loose ends. Seventy minutes short there's still plenty of mystery in the tale with a couple of plot twists conspiring to bring Price's crime and subsequent cover up undone. Entertaining B-grade thriller is a competent mystery and though not as shocking as the title might imply, still acquits well and always worth a watch.
