Valerii Ege D Good movie with an interesting twist. The good side of the movie is that it does not hide the mystery, but it does not say what it is? Something is happening, but what? Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/23 Full Review kevin w Mischa Auer, a character actor who's forte was usually ineffectual and parasitic European aristocratic fops, flips it in this one, affecting the typical hulking brute the 1930's so revered. There's a cute chimp in this that the director tries to qualify as monsterous - it's funny more than anything - in this typical murder mystery movie where the bodies are dropping but nobody knows who's doing it or why. The elements are all there, but unevenly dispersed, the effect simply falls flat. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A man who owns a gorilla dies, and family assembles in the creaky mansion to read his will. They start dying too: did the primate do it? It's OLD DARK HOUSE with an ape. Fainting heroines, killer monkeys, and cowardly black comic relief servants: this is what they had to put up with before DRACULA and FRANKENSTEIN. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member boring and kinda racist Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not much or a monster or monkey. The plot is slow, the characters are uninteresting, and the mystery is really dull. It's not scary, and it doesn't pass for a monster film. A fairly ridiculous ending. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member This Movie is from a Lon Chaney Collection, why I have no idea because he doesn't appear in this movie, think its Mill CVreeks way of filling in a cheap movie. The Monster Walks" is a very old and very cheap haunted-house mystery thriller without much mystery. Yet, considering the budget and the experience cast & crew members disposed of, this probably isn't such a bad movie after all. I'm sure that fans of early horror films will definitely detect a lot of charm and goodwill in this typical story about a wealthy daughter that is targeted for murder upon returning to her parental house for the regulation of her dead father's inheritance. Ruth has always been petrified by her father's pet-ape and, although safely caged in the basement, some malicious persons uses the animal to scare her senseless. Rex Lease is her all-knowing doctor/boyfriend who investigates the strange nightly events and eventually reveals the true culprit. Maybe the plot-twists would have intrigued me more if the actual climax wasn't stupidly mentioned on the DVD-box, but I still can't say the script is very complex or effectively misleading. There are one or two decent suspense-moments but overall this is a dull and unexciting poverty row movie. All the lovely clichés of 30's horror cinema are there, though, like the exaggeratedly polite servants, the seemly endless thunderstorm outside the castle and the black chauffeur-guy who simultaneously serves as the comic relief. This is an okay film as long as you don't expect to see another "The Old Dark House. 2 1/2 Stars 6-19-13 Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
