Back when Jack Nicholson was a Hollywood unknown appearing in Roger Corman quickies such as Crybaby Killer and Little Shop of Horrors, it wasn't unusual for Corman to make a movie in just a few days. That was the case with this nifty little thriller, which was filmed in just three days using the same sets that Corman had used in his Boris Karloff thriller The Raven, which Corman had finished ahead of schedule. In fact, the sets were being torn down almost as fast as Corman could film them, but that hasn't stopped this moody little gem from acquiring a modicum of cult status over the years. Karloff plays the alleged baron of an isolated castle on the Baltic coast, where a Napoleonic officer (played by Nicholson!) appears after becoming intrigued by the presence of a mysterious and beautiful woman. Karloff's baron has a dark history, of course, and creepy atmosphere makes up for the minimal plot, which makes The Terror a vintage treat for horror fans. --Jeff Shannon

The only thing more terrifying than a haunted castle is being trapped in one!

I just thought I would add my 1 star vote for what I think is the worst Roger Corman horror movie I have ever watched. Just using a respected name like Karloff is not enough to make a movie. Even Jack Nickolson was insufficient to make this film more than it was. Basically, nothing happened! After watching it once I chucked it to the back of my collection and have not watched it since.

All the "Corman-Poe" films for AIP (House Of Usher, Pit And Pendulum, The Raven, etc.) have been released in proper widescreen edition, with good image and sound, except for this one, who's numerous cheap (and not so cheap) DVD editions seem to be based on the same bad copy circulating in the public domain. This DVD is one of them, and is almost unwatchable.
I do not recommand to buy one of them, but rather to wait for a proper edition. I suppose there is a legal reason why The Terror is out ... Read More

The only reason I would recommend watching this is to see a much younger Jack Nicholson ,the rest is a boring story that will surely have you falling asleep in the first 15 minutes. Unfortunately I forced myself to stay wake and give the movie a chance.
The films begins in 1806 with the story of a lost French soldier (Nicholson) who has been separated from his group, he stumbles upon a strange young girl who seems sort of possessed, the soldier tries to ask her for directions, ... Read More

Roger Corman, the king of schlock, finished "The Raven" ahead of schedule and decided to make another film on the same set. Corman and four other directors filmed "The Terror" in four days. The result is mixed and horror movie fans are divided as to whether this film is a cult classic or another schlock horror film of the early 1960's.
The story is relatively simple. Lt. Andre Duvalier (Jack Nicholson) has become separated from his unit. He encounters a beautiful and mysterious woman ... Read More

The Terror is a 1963 horror film (actually in color!) starring Boris Karloff and Jack Nicholson that hasn't really gained much recognition. And understandably so. Like Bela Lugosi, Karloff seemed to fall into numerous low budget B-movies after his initial fame of the Universal era reached its peak. This is one of those movies. For plot details, here's what the back of the DVD case reads:
"The Terror features two screen legends in a most unlikely pairing, alby directed by horrormeister Roger ... Read More
