Mystery of Edwin Drood Ratings & Reviews
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
Dickens' final, unfinished novel was turned into a dark, brooding horror-adjacent film about an uncle who covets his nephew's fiance.
Celluloid Dreams
Peter Canavese
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.
Citizen Dame
Lauren Humphries-Brooks
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.
New York Times
Andre Sennwald
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.
Esquire Magazine
Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy)
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.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Claude Rains gives another one of his great performances, brilliantly playing a vile character suspected of murder.
