Instead, it&#8217;s Vincent Price (in his first horror role) who is the true draw of the movie &#8212; he&#8217;s <em>so <\/em>earnestly campy that we can&#8217;t help feeling awful for him when his beloved statues (his <em>friends<\/em>) are cruelly &#8220;killed&#8221;; and we certainly understand his desire for bitter revenge.
