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

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Scarecrow-88 Not too shabby mid-60s "house of unknown surprises" horror film has Caesar Romero as a magician who accidentally kills his beautiful wife (Connie Stevens) during an ill-fated, unwise guillotine trick and suffers madness as a result. Leaving the public scene due to the inability to cope with the loss, Romero's Duquesne never recovers, his daughter going to live with an aunt in Wisconsin. When he is reported dead and buried alive in an open-faced coffin, the daughter as an adult, Cassie (also Connie Stevens) returns to attend his funeral. She is told that she must live in the home of her father seven days from midnight until dawn to receive a hefty inheritance. If she doesn't, Duquesne's money goes to his loyal servant, Dolly (Virginia Gregg) and confidante, Buzzy (Parley Baer). A series of surprises (including a skeleton flying out of a closet on anyone who turns the living room light on, a head falling out of a barrel and tumbling down the stairs, sound of a woman wailing coming out of a stereo system from a cassette player, and rooms leading one place into a totally different part of the house) await her and a young man she meets at her pops' funeral, Val Henderson (Dean Jones; quite charming and appealing). Val is actually a reporter perhaps looking for a story on the daughter of a famous magician who left the public view eventually falling in love with her (and vice versa). Duquesne claims he will perform his greatest illusion yet: returning from beyond the grave! Doesn't reinvent the wheel here and follows a familiar formula William Castle was successful in over at Columbia Pictures, "Two on a Guillotine" is the Warner Bros. alternative for fans of B&W gimmicky horror films done on the cheap. I think the film gets a lot of mileage out of the chemistry of Connie and Dean, but the plot doesn't offer anything you won't see in Strait-Jacket or Hush…Hush, Sweet Charlotte. Romero is in what constitutes a cameo, believing his daughter is his wife, also wanting to make the guillotine trick a success. Gregg as the lovestruck and heart-broken servant who loved and devoted herself to Duquesne has a big emotional scene where she pours her heart out to Cassie, while the familial reunion gets a bit weird when Romero can't differentiate wife from daughter. Macabre conclusion helps, but I think this is a bit derivative of other films without doing much to stand out on its own. Connie is a looker, though. Dean is a likable, unflappable leading man…it is no surprise he was so successful with Disney.

The-Oasis I am looking for this movie. If anyone has detailed info on where to purchase it, please post a reply here.I saw the movie at the RKO Madison in Ridgewood Queens and Connie Stevens and Cesar Romero appeared on stage after the movie.It is one of my fondest memories and would love to see the flick again.While the movie itself was not as exciting or gory as other flicks of the era ( the 60's was indeed an era)It was exciting for a ten year old.The RKO mentioned above is now a huge 99 cent store after living briefly as a Woolworths.

sarik7701 This was one of my favorite movies when I was growing up. They just don't make movies like this anymore. I have been trying to find this movie on VHS or DVD for years, apparently it is not available to buy, which doesn't make any sense considering there are a ton of stupid movies out there by the billions and none of this one - which is one of the greatest movies ever! I really hope that Two On A Guillitine comes out on video really really soon, this movie mesmerized me when I was very young, it would be nice to go back to it again! It wasn't a gory type of movie, I am surprised it's considered a thriller actually. I never thought of it as scary. But it definitely should get a lot more credit, A LOT MORE!!!!

dlp As for the gory movies of today, This movie is not as scary as The Nightmare On Elm Street. I wish this movie could be released to video. I haven't seen it, since I was a child. Please put this movie on tape I likewise wasn't fond of Parley Bear, when he played Mayor Roy Stoner, on The Andy Griffith Show.
