A Film That Lives Up To Its Title
“Experiment in Terror” is a superb example of how to scare the hell out of you without a trace of gore, blood or gratuitous violence. For all intents and purposes this is a police procedural where the aim is to track down a stalker/blackmailer/murderer. Filmed in black and white the film revels in darkness and uses it to create its more unsettling moments. Imagining what we are barely seeing in the dark and letting our imaginations run wild is scarier than seeing a graphic depiction. Ford and Remmick turn in excellent performances under Blake Edwards’ deft direction. Best of all is Ross Martin as the world champion heavy breather. Martin is generally known for more lighter roles but his rather sinister turn here is very fine. Stark photography, often at night, and a subtle yet unsettling score by Henry Mancini are icing on the cake. To be watched with the lights out.
Wow–this is a really tense crime drama
This is an exceptionally tense crime drama that succeeds as well as it does because the film strives for realism and the overall writing is so good. Instead of the film being told in a Film Noir style (which predominated in the prior two decades), the film is a straight FBI drama that avoids the usual cop movie clichés and expected twists and turns. This is heightened by simple yet realistic performances by Lee Remick and Glenn Ford as well as a very convincing psychopathic performance by Ross Martin. Martin’s evil wheezing criminal genius was highly reminiscent of the character he later played on “The Wild, Wild West”, as he used disguises very effectively and convincingly. The writing was generally good and Blake Edwards simple direction excellent as well. About the only negative, and it’s a very small one, is when the younger sister (played by Stephanie Powers) so easily falls into the trap of Martin towards the end–it really seemed a bit too easy–especially since she knew the psychopath was ready to strike. Regardless, it’s a dynamite and tense drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat.PS–For fans of old time baseball, look closely for shots of Don Drysdale, John Roseboro and others during the final scenes at Candlestick Park.
