Invisible Ghost

Starring Bela Lugosi! Hooray, our first Bela movie. This movie is on the Horror Classics 50 Movie Pack. It's about Bela being crazy or something, idk. Pretty excited, will post the review sometime tonight. Bye bye =).

IMDb: Invisible Ghost

Review:

That was interesting, and quite good as well. The movie isn't really horror at all. However, I would say it's still a fitting movie for a Horror set. A guy keeps seeing his "dead" wife, every time he does he goes into a fit of rage and kills someone. Bela Lugosi, of course, steals the screen, however, this film is far from Bela at his best.

Pros:

Bela Lugosi: Bela is one of my favorite actors from the Golden Age of Horror. He played in some of the high points of the genre, Dracula, White Zombie, and the classic Bride of the Monster. Bela is welcome on my review any time. Even if he doesn't want to be in a movie, he still gives an earth-shattering performance.

The Horror Icon, Bela Lugosi.

Story: Like I said earlier, this film is far from a Horror flick. However, it has some horror elements, like a "ghost" and some murders. Let's be completely honest, this film is obviously in this set due to the star. If Lugosi wasn't in the film, I doubt it would be in the Horror Classics 50 Movie Pack. The story is really interesting. Since Lugosi's wife left him for his best friend, every time he sees her, he kills the first person he can. However, the twist is that the gardener is holding her in his shed. She went a little crazy after a car accident. Though you pretty much know it's Lugosi murdering people from the beginning, the movie keeps you guessing who will be next.

Mrs. Kessler and the Gardener.

Cons:

Bugs: This movie was filmed in Summer. Somewhere in the Mid-West or South-Eastern United States. How can I tell? There are CONSTANTLY bugs landing on the camera lens. Usually this wouldn't bother me, however, in one scene there is at least 7 bugs on the lens at the SAME TIME. They really needed to think this through. The insects are distracting and, in my humble opinion, detract from the beauty that is Invisible Ghost.

  Those are bugs, they get shooed away in the next frame.

FINAL SCORE:

7/10

This film was really clever and intriguing. Bela just put the cherry on top of it. However, the movie seems a little short at only 64 mins. It also has a bug problem through a good portion of the film. Overall, not a bad film, however, I probably won't watch it again.
