John Ellman has been framed for murder by a gang of racketeers and he is sent to the electric chair. Luckily, Dr. Evan Beaumont retrieves his dead body and revives it as part of his research about body reanimation and the soul. Sooner or later, things go out of control as the dead walk among us...
Michael Curtiz provides yet another classic piece of horror back from the mid-War era. This film (as many others) must have been really shocking back then as it does not only shock with the story but also plants seeds for thoughts. The story, the mood and the gloomy and grainy atmosphere never fails to disappoint. That's why we love it!
Boris Karloff in yet another of his numerous roles as a man that has been brought back to life. He may seem a lot like Frankenstein's monster but haters will hate. Edmund Gwenn as the doctor with the unnatural field of research and Marguerite Churchill fill up the remaining roles here! A classic film for times of relaxing and reminiscing (there is something about black-and-white that does that).
Must watch this : with a hot bowl of soup, next to the fire, with dim lights and your lovey-dovey next to you while the wind is howling outside in the blistering cold. Yikes, I even got the chills just by thinkin' of it.
