I cannot believe people actually reviewed this movie as an adult movie. William Castle really put one over on anyone who thought this was for grownups. It is obviously aimed at kids and teenagers. Castle appears on screen in the theatrical opening and tells you to keep the little card you were handed as you entered the theater. After the movie ends, Castle appears on screen again, tells you to moisten the card, and if the word "danger" appears, hand your card to the manager, who will give you a prize. This gimmick alone screams "kids." The young girl actresses, the absurd story, the "cute" factor, everything about this movie is obviously directed (pun intended) at kids. If this were an adult movie I would give it one star (actually, zero, but there is no zero). As a kids and teens movie, I've seen much better, but I suppose it at least deserves four stars. The only thing that really amazes me is the fact that William Castle would make such a movie at all. To win a bet?
