hit all the right notes for a bela fan


Ok if you are reading this than you like bela legosi most likely. Also its very likely you got the 50 horror classic movie pack that I got and wanted to check it out. I got the pack this was on an really enjoyed the movie.

Of course going in know its 70 plus year old horror movie. That being said you get mostly what you would sign up for.
The movie coasts on his Dracula fame. His character in the movie removes body fluid from young girls, he creeps in the corner and even looms over the main girls bed much like Dracula would.

He has a mutant and midget for his henchmen. There is some good amtosphere, and quite a bit of intentional comedy (one liners) to make you aware the film makers arent taking things too seriously and just want you to have fun.
Laugh, be a bit creeped out, marvel of the absurdity of the plot and enjoy the old cars and film making from 3 quarters of a century ago.

It hit all thr right notes for me. At barely one hour running time. You have nothing to lose if you want an old school horror movie that moves quickly and has some fun moments.

Pop some popcorn and ignore the 4 rating on here.

Just saw it and I agree with everything you said. Although I watched it on this app with free movies.

I try to watch everything with Bela I can get hold of. He´s not very accessible, unfortunately. I love TCM, but I have not seen anything with him on there.
Which is your favorite Bela-movie?
