Sadly, this is a remarkably derivative offering with two characters stumbling into a creepy old mansion filled with secret passages, a mad scientist, a damsel, and some medieval torture contraptions. Noel Madison just about makes the grade but the others are pretty C-grade, jobbing, actors given little by way of a script nor innovation to work with. I enjoyed watching it, it all creaks in all the right places - but suspect I will soon forget it completely.
