The Tingler (itself)

 

Sven aired this again last night, and I watched a bit of it.  I like the movie, but not enough to sit through it again.  I think the problem is that most of the characters, if not all of them, are thoroughly unlikable.  Even the ostensible hero, Vincent Price as Dr. Warren Chapin is rather thoughtless.  You kinda root for the Tingler itself to kill all of these people.  But what happens to the critter once it is removed from the spine?  If we all have them in us, and need to scream to subdue it, don't they die with us?

It is a cool looking critter, though.  It seems like a lot of Castle's movies don't have many pleasant people in them.  That is sad, since they are pretty good overall.
