Critic Reviews for The Mystery of Edwin Drood
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (5) | Rotten (2)
This Mystery of Edwin Drood, though it adds nothing of consequence to the great mystery, is good Dickens and a genuinely fine horror story in the bargain.
Charles Dickens' unfinished novel receives a somewhat mediocre, but fairly entertaining treatment in this Kino Lorber Studio Classics blu-ray highlighted by a strong central performance by Claude Rains.
The Mystery of Edwin Drood is far from the best Dickens adaptation of the period, but it does give life to a story that has always been a little loose and truncated.
By partially divesting Edwin Drood of its caricatured characters, Universal pull it down to the level of a second-rate thriller.
More Dickens, more Christmas carols emanating from snow-thatched cathedrals, while strange doings go on under the arches. Claude Rains works hard, but he's had better parts.
Hollywood continues to give the Dickens enthusiasts cause for cheering.
