Ultimately not super well realized, but full of good ideas and has two of horror’s biggest icons.
I think this only works because of the stacked cast, it’s worth it just for them. Thin story, pretty dull beyond the climax
Bela Lugosi + Boris Karloff + Edgar Allen Poe. What more can I say?
An amazing performance from Legosi and Karloff. This movie is very chilling
Ulmer shoots in such a dreamlike way and the wall-to-wall score adds even more to that feeling. I didn’t want this to end.
Moody af. Also, there’s this one scene that suggests relations unfit for a 1930s audience… 👀
The mid section gets to be a bit dull, but watching Karloff square off with Bela Lugosi after leading a black mass is so worth the wait.
A great film featuring two titans of terror a fun early horror Karloff and Lugosi steal the show
