"Because there are only four people in the film (including servant Harry Ellerbe), Richard Matheson was stuck with the problem of writing a horror movie in which nothing could happen to anyone until the end. So he inserted numerous filler scenes that are there strictly for atmosphere (a dram sequence, trip into the crypt, a look at the family gallery). And to take up more time, his characters use about 10 lines when one or two would suffice."
