How wonderful to stumble across this movie on YouTube.... it brings back many happy memories as I often used to watch Edgar Wallace films with my dear old Nan back in the late 1960's/early 1970's when they were aired regularly over here in The UK...

I have never seen this film. The plot has pulled me in. Excited to watch how this unfolds!

This was really good and Leslie Banks seems to have revised a character he played back in 1933 in "The Most Dangerous Game". Interesting coincidence, the movie "The Most Dangerous Game" was produced and directed by the team that did the movie "King Kong" made the same year, in the same studio with the same special effects artists who created Kong. The coincidence is that this film "The Door with the 7 Locks" was written by Edgar Wallace who also wrote the original story of King Kong.

A delightful film with some comedy and the sweet innocent but sudden unusual partnership and relationship setting the mood where the one off a few medium shot scenes encapsulates the viewer and ending it in a close-up shot while other characters end in medium shot. The murder mystery plot has many layers which can be a little difficult to follow but all comes together eventually. The film has bright lightness but shifts more towards medium dark to dark scenes with shadows created on characters faces and interiors which creates the sinister mood. Overall, the movie emphasizes the sweet innocent relationship between the characters which blossoms throughout the ups and downs of the melodrama where emotions are heightened during exciting events leading up to a fairytale victory.

Yo, Cult Cinema classics. This is not the 1962 version of Edgar Wallace's Story. This is the 1940 British version.
And yet, this film only exists because the British Board of Censors lifted a ban on Supernatural and horror films produced in England back in the middle 1930s.

And one more thing, Wallace was known to be a prolific writer in his lifetime. He had pinned various serialized short stories loosely based on his experience as a Daily Mail journalist assigned to Africa. He also wrote a cornucopia of crime novels and detective serials.

Although Wallace died under mysterious circumstances in 1932 at only 56, he is well known today for penning the original screenplay for King Kong. However, Wallace had initially titled
his script, The Beast. (☉‿☉✿)

Thank you! What a movie. I prefer the white and black version, it makes the story more dramatic. Excellent acting from the seven keys lol. Loved it

THE DOOR WITH SEVEN LOCKS, aka CHAMBER OF HORRORS, was shot in England in 1940, at the height of the German bombardments of London. 1962 is definitely wrong.

If they knew how easy those old locks were to pick, they could've saved themselves a lot of trouble. But then we wouldn't have a movie.😄 Thanks for uploading these!

[marywynn]

The sound was so low but I enjoyed it anyway

[jaredparsons]

I found this Movie because of The Last of Us 2. There was a poster for this film on a wall in a library. I typed it in to see if it was a real thing or if the developers made it up. Now I can watch it.

[oldfan]

There is another copy of this with exceptionally bad colorization and equally bad audio. Good thing the cc is pretty good.
