I'd love to have seen more of Karloff, but Costello more than makes up for that flaw. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

steve d 01/09/2023 Karloff added to the mix makes it extra fun. See more Tim N 11/28/2022 Watching Bud Abbott dealing with that many dead bodies was absolutely hilarious. See more 05/12/2020 A bit darker than their other films, but very entertaining. I particularly like the scene where Karloff hypnotized Lou. See more 04/01/2015 wrong year flixter dumbshits! how do I spell idiot? flixter! See more @Timofdragons 02/23/2014 A pretty good murder mystery conspiracy movie, but hardly an A&C movie. It lacked the charm, chemistry, and gags of good ol' A&C. Cheezy, humourous, and interesting, but a bit disappointing. See more 05/08/2013 My favorite and the best of the duo's comedy mystery series. With gags, killers, murder, mayhem, and much more. The scene with Costello constantly bumping into one of the dead bodies is classic and hilarious. See more Read all reviews
