Just watched this in honor of Monogram Week and the BelaBration and I gotta say - I wasn't disappointed. I dunno what movie LG watched and commented on elsewhere here but this movie rocked! Yes, LG, the writing stunk, but who cares :wacko: What got my juices going was the really fun cast they got together for this cheapo. Besides Bela, who was not as maniacal as I would have liked, you had a ton of some of my fave b-movie actors. The gorgeous Luana Walters (I'm really becoming a big fan of hers) playing the perky, pesky, determined reporter bound and determined to put herself in peril to get the scoop on the disappearing brides. Then as her stalwart defender the often-evil Tris Coffin gives a lovely, stiff performance as a physician helping Dr. Lorenz (Bela). I was a little surprised that an intelligent doctor wouldn't see what a weird whack-job he was working with. Other faves Elizabeth Russell (Cat People ), Minerva Urecal, dwarfy Angelo Rossitto, Vince Barnett - does it ever stop! And the surprise, walkaway performance of the film - Frank Moran as a lumbering moron with a penchant for dead women. The scene where he's stalking Luana while eating a turkey leg (or something) cannot be missed. Another great thing about this one - secret doorways abound in the creepy old mansion and lead to dungeon-type passageways and a filthy laboratory. Thoroughly enjoyable 60 minutes spent with a fairly decent print from TCM. |
