Review of The Body Snatcher (1945) by Marcus H — 22 Jan 2013
Boris Karloff is amazing, per usual, in this Val Lewton produced, Robert Wise directed mystery thriller. It really is about a time and place as much as anything else. Set in the 1830s, medicine was not very advanced, anesthetic did not exist, and the world was reeling with news of the Burke and Hare mass murders.
The story is wall paced and decent. Recommended.
