i be always amaze when i find yet another ultra low budget film star bela lugosi . while i do generally enjoy his film and they certainly be not high art or very deep and so many of them have downright crappy production value . often it look a if bela would appear in any film provide the check clear . you do not believe me and then think back to such horrid film a plan 9 from out space and bela lugosi meet a brooklyn gorilla and zombie on broadway and ghost on the loose ( with the east side kid ) and murder by television . however and often despite the terrible budget and overall cheesiness of the film and they be still often fun to watch or at least to laugh at due to their ineptness . unfortunately and murder by television be that rare low budget lugosi film that actually be kind of boring and static . despite be a murder mystery and the film be amazingly static and uninvolving . plus and the role play by bela just seem terribly write and bizarre and not in a great way . the only major plus this film have that raise it to almost mediocrity be the idea of television be a topic of a film as early a 1930. from a purely historical standpoint and it be an interesting film .
