I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Sorry, this movie sucks

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

The movie is boring, but Ross Martin is good as the mysterious psychopath who terrorizes Lee Remick. He threatens her t-out the movie to kill her teenager sister. His character made Robert Mitchum's Max Cady in Cape Fear look like a mouse; He should've been nominated for an Oscar that year. It had good performances by the cast; but it not your typical fast-paced suspense.

Paging Alfred Hitchcock, who would never come up with an alleged thriller as dull and disappointing as this. The performance of Ross Martin is the only real interest, although Ford and Stefanie Powers are good, Remick less so. This starts out quite well, but it just doesn't hold up. Does not compare at all well to really great suspense films, but they were hardly Blake Edwards' specialty.

Apparently, Blake Edwards proved that he could do things far beyond the range of the Pink Panther films and he sure hit a home run with this intense 1962 thriller.Just watch the face of Lee Remick, bank teller, who is accosted in her garage by a heavy breathing sadistic, eerie character threatening her that if she doesn't steal $100,000 from her bank for him, she and her teenage sister, Stefanie Powers, will be killed.This is a tense thriller and Ross Martin is absolutely superb as the sinister character.Glenn Ford is smooth as the FBI man who Remick turns to. There is also an excellent supporting performance by an Asian woman, a girlfriend of Martin, who refuses to cooperate with the police and though it is wrong, you can see why she has taken this kind of attitude.

The threatening atmosphere that quickly develops soon after the start of "Experiment In Terror" sets the tone for everything that follows in this disturbing story of a young woman who's attacked by a violent psychopath and forced to carry out a serious crime on his behalf. The woman's ordeal continues as she's used as the bait to catch her tormentor and her life remains in grave danger all the way through to the movie's spectacular climax. The uneasy mood of the piece is effectively enhanced by Henry Mancini's creepy score and some wonderful cinematography strongly reinforces an awareness of the ever-present menace that lurks in the shadows.One dark night, Kelly Sherwood (Lee Remick), who works as a teller in a San Francisco bank, returns to her home in the Twin Peaks area of the city and after having parked her car in her garage, is grabbed from behind by a man who threatens to kill her and her teenage sister unless she agrees to steal $100,000 from the bank where she works. The man, who remains unseen throughout the attack, is an asthmatic who tells Kelly details about herself and her sister which unnerve her and adds that he's already killed a couple of people in the past. He warns her not to contact the police because he'll be watching her to ensure that she obeys his orders.When Kelly gets the opportunity, she contacts FBI agent John Ripley (Glenn Ford) who takes charge of the case and soon identifies the attacker as Garland "Red" Lynch (Ross Martin) who's a criminal with a long record of convictions for violent crimes. Ripley's very methodical investigation doesn't achieve much success initially as a couple of characters who could potentially provide useful information are killed and another refuses to co-operate because Lynch had previously been very kind to her son and paid for some expensive medical treatment that he needed.Lynch kidnaps Kelly's younger sister Toby (Stefanie Powers) just before he wants Kelly to go ahead with the robbery and Ripley arranges for Kelly to follow Lynch's orders so that she can be used to trap him. The way in which the events that follow play out, prove to be extremely tense, unpredictable and dangerous.Lee Remick, in a brilliantly measured performance, conveys the extreme fear and vulnerability that her character feels after being attacked, terrorised and stalked by a ruthless maniac and the composure that she also displays in some frightening situations testifies to her courage and resilience. Glenn Ford shows Ripley's genuine concern, sincerity and efficiency very convincingly and Ross Martin is terrific as the madman whose actions cause so much distress and fear."Experiment In Terror" looks great and is well directed despite a few unnecessary lapses in the momentum of what happens on screen. Some dramatic camera angles emphasise the chaos into which Kelly's life descends after she's attacked in her garage and the extreme close-ups ratchet up the tension that's such a powerful feature of this superb movie which ends in style with a very memorable and well staged finale.
