Don't get caught behind THE STRANGE DOOR, it is full of mystery and plenty of Charles Laughton, eating and slobbering over his food and over acting his role. However, Boris Karloff is a kind hearted servant and performs like a hero throughout the entire picture. There are good elements of suspense and characterization in this celluloid adatation of a Robert Louis Stevenson story. As the master fiend, Laughton is well cast. He revels in his lines and leers at his victims to the point of overplaying.
