Blu B On it's own it's the forgettable B Movie version of Frankestein and Dracula kind of. But it becomes a bizarrely memorable footnote because of Bogart being the villian in this. It is just bizarre seeing him in this and you can't look away simliar to Austin Powers in Goldmember not being able to look away at the mole. He's not terrible though. But there isn't any tension in this, super basic cinematography, the humor is out of place, and everyone is just ok. There isn't any character devlopment, atmosphere, just the most basic of a story in this. Bogart is oddly enough the most meorable thing in this. Most should skip this. Very Bizarre Forgettable B Movie. Not much else to say for a 62 minute runtime flick I guess. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/13/24 Full Review Steve D Perhaps the worst film Bogart was ever a part of. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/16/24 Full Review Audience Member The movie gets off to a bad start. The main character, a newspaper reporter, finds the body of a woman who seems to have been murdered, and he just writes about that for his newspaper to indirectly inform the police instead of calling the police. But the rest of the movie is better. Humphrey Bogart shows that he can be creepy. The movie doesn't have any of the characters of "Doctor X." But it's similar in being a murder mystery in which the main character is a newspaper reporter and the suspects are scientists. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Not very good horror film is really only worth watching for what has to be the most bizarre casting of Humphrey Bogart's career as Doctor X. A reporter is investigating a string of murders that involved the victims being found drained of their rare blood type, which eventually leads to the titular Doctor X. Bogart himself hated this film and never wanted to talk about it. His role as Doctor X was originally going to be played by Boris Karloff, so that gives you an idea of how different a role this was for Bogey and just how miscast he was, with goofy glasses and a Bride of Frankenstein-like grey streak. Overall, this film is only worth watching as a curio in Bogart's filmography, this being his only sci-fi or horror film appearance. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Kind of a little good/bad movie in that i's poorly made but watchable. Humphrey Bogart is completely miscast as ghoulish Dr. X. This isn't a true sequel to the extremely memorable 'Doctor X' (1932).
