      Aldo G Fairly good B-movie from the 40s with an intriguing plot and a mystery that will keep you guessing on who done it for a little while, at least. Lon Chaney, Jr. is at his peak playing an artist all the chicks dig. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review martin a This is a great vintage film, more of a thriller than a horror. An artist has a benefactor and when the artist becomes blind due to a mistake by his model who is in love with him, the benefactor dies and leaves him his eyes. However the artist is accused of his murder and the operation still goes ahead, but in the meantime, his sight does not come back after the operation, but he sets out to find the killer despite still being under suspicion himself. Great cast Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Another Inner Sanctum murder mystery. You might prefer the effects of what the protagonist did to his eyes than have to endure the stilted dialogue or Acquanetta's stone face monotone performance. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Acquanetta is great as David's crazy model, and she's also the easy suspect for all the nefarious going-ons in the film. And if the movie had stayed as weak as it began, she would have been the only suspect. But Lon Chaney Jr. also gives a fine performance, one that gives viewers the idea that there's something a little off with his character. The other actors are excellent in their parts too, and, supported by a clever script, they turn what started out as a disaster into a fun viewing experience. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review bill t A bit of a step down from the previous Inner Sanctum series, this one has Lon Chaney as an artist who has a mishap and goes blind. His girlfriend's father offers up his eyes in his will when he dies. When the father shows up murdered, the fiancee thinks he did it! Bit of lousy acting here (especially from Acquanetta) sort of mars this. Much better IS movies out there. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member For a B-Movie, it's exceptional--Classic Lon Chaney Jr.!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
