wrekabyte P This is a hidden comedic gem! The script and dead pan delivery are Seinfeld like. Way ahead of it's time. Got the cheese in the right places too. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/19/23 Full Review bill t Rather nasty piece of business featuring Bela Lugosi as a mad scientist (with yes, a Renfield-like assistant and his mother, a dwarf and yes, the scientistÂs wife (sounds like a Greenaway movie actually lol). Lugosi gives his wife injections from dead brides (why them? Who knows?) so that his wife can leep looking beautiful. He gets the brides after doing a pretty clever trick with some orchids that makes the brides collapse at the altar. After another bride bites the dust, a newspaper reporter just HAPPENS to be around for the scoop, and decides to snoop around for a story. She gets all sorts of clues about the orchids and Lugosi. Heaven knows where the police were. Soon sheÂs off to BelaÂs lair, when she meets a sort of strange looking doctor who may or may not be eeeevil. It all cumulates in a totally farfetched plan to have a fake wedding to capture the mad scientist, but it seems that the scientist has x-ray vision, as he foils her plans, Oh no! What will happen? I actually liked this movie as a bit of a guilty pleasure. Lugosi is great here, his hangers-on are all very very strange, the story is actually quite nasty in some places which makes it all most watchable. A fun little view. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I totally dug it! Lugosi rocks as the evil scientist, and the cast of evil flunkies who help him kidnap women- a demented giant, a cynical dwarf, and an old Hag- are cinema classics! Top it off with a tough girl reporter on the case..and the sinister plot takes off. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Love watching these old movies.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I like creaky old thrillers and the mysteriously magnetic Elizabeth Russell but this isn't very good, even by my standards.
