nick s The acting from the main players wasn't too bad. Where this falls down is the stagey blocking... actors standing in one spot like they're waiting for a photo to be taken. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review bill t Clunky and overwritten yarn about a man who suffers from a malady that makes him become a terrifying monster when the moon comes out.. You know he becomes the monster when he curls up his hand and.. well, that's about it. No makeup, just the hand. Plus, did I say this was overwritten to death? And seems to be set in 3 locations only? Pretty dumb.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad. The story reminds me a little of the Wolf Man, but the acting wasn't all that great. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Haphazardly thrown together horror movies have been dripping out of Grindhouse theaters for decades; movies like this one which was shot in about a week and pushed out to make a quick buck. The acting is horrible and the actors look as if they are wearing found clothing; the picture is extra blurry and cuts in weird places as if they were filming it on scraps of reel tape. All of these quirks make it beautiful in its own way. When examining Condemned to Live it is apparent that Frank Strayer came right off of the success of Vampire Bat (1933) and decided to repackage the movie and put it out again. The movie has no real "Monster" to speak of, in fact the villain (known as "the Fiend" in this picture) is more of a repackaging of a psychotic with vampiristic overtones; Professor Kristen doesn't ever actually drink the blood of his victims but he does gnaw on their necks. The village in the movie is taken right out of "The Bride of Frankenstein" and they even throw in a hunchback to drive home the fact that this is a horror movie. He isn't even needed. The movie is pretty tame and most of the killings are done off screen and didn't hold up my interest very well. The movie is bland and feels like it needs a shot of something to keep it on its toes. I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone, but I wouldn't complain if it fell into a horror movie marathon at a local theater. I am going to slip the movie a 5 out of 10. What good can there be in a hunchback? S!D Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a good vampire movie, but it wasn't made very well.
