| Title: THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE Year: 1958 Rates: **** |
Several horror tropes work perfectly together in THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE: the talking/moving severed head, here possessing anyone looking into his eyes, and the sweetly enlightened, strange and beautiful young girl with powers beyond her understanding...
As chaste blonde Carolyn Kearney is targeted by more experienced and literally entranced/hypnotized brunette Andra Martin: their alluring bedroom scene is sensuously suggestive, especially for the 1950's...

But there's a purpose: Martin wants Kearney's cross necklace, straight from a Hammer Film (lesbian vampire-style), featuring a Gothic flashback sequence with executed Satanist Robin Hughes... whose present time head's buried in a treasure chest that involves a greedy get-rich-quick investigation taking up the crime-genre first act...
Turning from noirish/suspense to a kind of haunted starlet rural horror/thriller where Carolyn Kearney (from lip-pouting sweetness to narrow-eyed seduction) not only steals but owns this Universal b-chiller: where stalwart CULT OF THE COBRA co-star William Reynolds handsomely hangs around to save the day.
