i buy this video at walmart $ 1 bin . i think i over pay . in the 1940s and bela lugosi make a long string of 3rd rate movie for small studio ( in this case and monogram the one who make most of the bowry boys film ) . while the wretchedness of most of these film do not approach the level of awfulness his last film achieve ( ed wood classic such a bride of the monster and plan 9 from out space ) and they be nonetheless poor film and should be avoid by all but the most die hard fan . i be an old movie junkie and so i give this a try . besides and a few of these less film be actually pretty good just not this one . lugosi be and what else and a mad scientist who want to keep his rather bizarre and violent wife alive through a serum he concoct from young bride . they never really explain why it have to be bride or why it must be woman or even what disease his wife have so you can see that the plot be never really hash out at all . anyways and a really annoy female reporter ( a lois lane type without jimmy olsen or superman ) want to get to the bottom of all these apparent murder in which the body be steal . so and she follow some clue all the way to the doorstep of lugosi . lugosi home be complete with his crazed wife and a female assistant and two strange people who be apparently the assistant son ( an ugly hunchbacked sex fiend and a dwarf ) . naturally this plucky reporter faint repeatedly throughout the film apparently narcolepsy and good investigative journalism go hand in hand . eventually and the maniac all die mostly due to their own hand and all be well . at the conclusion and the reporter and a doctor she just meet decide to marry . and and naturally and the reporter dumb cameraman faint when this occur . if you haven not notice and there a lot of faint in this film . or and maybe because it be such a slow and ponderous film they just fell asleep .
