Review of Invisible Ghost (1941) by Mark P — 20 Jul 2008

Bizarre old Bela Lugosi film where he plays an old rich guy who seems to have gone a little crazy after he found out his wife was cheating on him.. Anyway, for some weird ass reason one of his servants is keeping her locked up in his attic so she can recover after being in a (supposedly fatal) car crash, and she periodically falls into a trance and goes to visit him, which somehow causes Bela to become hypnotized himself and start murdering his houseguests and servants.

They even bother trying to explain why exactly this would be happening, but like many super-cheap '40s B-horror films, the focus is more on making an entertaining film rather than having all of the pieces fit together and make sense , and this was pretty enjoyable with nice performances by everyone.

I got it for 30p and watched it drunk, so I can't complain.
