offhand and i can think of only two movie in film history that have be narrate by murder victim represent billy wilder sunset blvd . ( 1950 ) and one of the fine picture of all time and and 1947 scar to death and which turn out to be one of the bad . this latter effort also hold the distinction of be bela lugosi only movie to have be film in color . bela here play a hypnotist or magician name leonide and who come with his dwarf companion angelo rossitto ( who appear with bela in 1942 infinitely superior film the corpse vanishes ) to cousin george zucco house and where george daughter in law be be drive insane by a mysterious masked personage . nat pendleton be on hand a a remarkably dim witted cop and and the juvenile humor that he provide would have torpedo this film itself and without any help from it other wretched element . but those wretched element be there in abundance represent the plot here make little sense and the script be by turn fatuous and yawn inducing and the background music be annoy and the action be confine to a few room and the character be ridiculous type and and the entire film be tedious and uninvolving . bela grimace presence doesn not even begin to salvage this one . anyway and my beloved psychotronic encyclopedia call this film surreal while the maltin book deem it dreadful while i say that you might require psychedelics to get you through . it only 65 minute long and but trust me and they will feel like the long 65 minute of your life . i must also add that this be the first dvd from alpha video that i have view that seem to have be take from a respectable look print while too bad it be for this pathetic little stinker .
