Goofs
As Simon plays the congregational hymn on the organ in the opening scene at the church the music shown on his stand in the organ loft is an oratorio/anthem music score with SATB lines (soprano/alto/tenor/bass) and a two-stave orchestral/keyboard reduction, emphatically not a church hymn.

Simon Ashby: [smirk on his face] I've been drinking.
[Looks at the liquor on the bar in the entryway]

Well-crafted Suspense

Not really a horror film,(no monsters or gore), but a lot of creepiness and insanity. This movie has great sustained suspense that keeps you guessing what is real, which character is crazy, and which character is who they say they are. Future star Oliver Reed is very young and handsome, but hasn't learned to act very well yet, but he is entertainingly over-the-top. The whole thing is very well-done and a hell of a lot of fun to watch.
