Rating: Summary: Excellent Lugosi Thriller Review: This is Lugosi's best British film, it's an exciting fast paced thriller with Lugosi in top form. In the dual role of the sinister Dr Orloff and the seemingly kind Dr. Dearborn Lugosi runs an insurance racket in which he drowns blind people and dumps their bodies in the Thames. The film is handsomely mounted, with good production values and a top cast. The film was remade in the 60's with Klaus Kinski in the Orloff role but this is the version you should see.
Rating: Summary: once again, quite annoyed, yet not by the movie Review: what annoys me is a review giving this little known classic horror movie one star due to bad dvd quality. people are going to see a bad customer rating for this movie, and believe based on the lack of stars that this is a terrible movie, which is just not true. please, for god sakes, review the MOVIE, not the quality of the release. how stupid some people are! that's like giving a book a bad review because you didn't like the cover art. grow up.now for the movie. this is a wonderful thriller starring bela lugosi. much of the story is set in a shelter for the blind, and this creates an air of confusion. lugosi's henchman, a deformed blind giant named jake, is brilliant. i recall one scene that is a classic moment in horror movie history where bela lugosi, in order to punish one of his minions, deafens a man who is already blind and dumb. then he binds his arms and legs and throws him in a tub of water. brilliant.
