Jay W This movie is perfect for the background noise for a Halloween Party. It has all the vibes of a classic Universal Horror movie. It has Karloff and Lugosi; the two biggest names horror has ever had. It has a creepy haunted house full of trap doors and secret passages. It has at least 12 scenes of women fainting and getting carried away. Throw in some clunky "action" scenes of a man strangling someone. It has a whole bunch of public domain orchestra music. This movie has all the corny stuff you want to see in one of these. It isn't either horror icons best role, but these two never put in a bad performance. Your enjoyment will depend on how much you enjoy classic horror tropes. Nothing like a good helping of candy corn. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review Elvis D Un thriller psicológico fascinante que tiene a los iconicos Boris Karloft y Bela Lugosi juntos, pero su mayor error es pretender ser una adaptación del cuento original de Edgar Allan Poe, ya que no tiene absolutamente nada que ver con dicho relato y solamente toma el título y algunos pocos guiños implícitos. Deriva demasiado presentando una historia diferente que sirvió como antecedente para el thriller psicológico aplicado en películas futuras. Como película de Karloft y Lugosi es aceptable, pero nunca debió ser etiquetada como una adaptación de las obras Poe, ya que en eso fracasa mucho. Mi calificación para esta película es un 7/10. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/23 Full Review Lucas C The Black Cat is a great movie. Bela Lugosi is great as Dr Vitus Werdegast and Boris Karloff is amazing as Hjaimar Poelzig. Its a anther Universal classic and I highly recommend this movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Valerii Ege D In the same movie, Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff appeal to me, but the story and acting are like an awful theater play. The story has some interesting offerings, but the process is really, really bad. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/03/23 Full Review Steve D Too slow and un-scary even for its time. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/12/23 Full Review Zachary V Somewhat campy and self aware - the establishing shots of Boris Karloff's character are so clearly intended to appeal to audiences already familiar with Universal's Frankenstein. The story has enough twists and turns to entertain, and the tension between Lugosi and Karloff work both within the story and as a 'monster mash' between two already iconic horror actors.
