A "creaker"....but not all THAT bad!
1 July 1999 | by (S. Bound Brook, NJ) – See all my reviews

This is a typical "Old House" film of the early 30's, but one of the "shabbier" ones. I beg to disagree with the other reviewer, but this film isn't THAT bad. Don't forget that when this film came out, the "weird events" that took place in this film (living eyes in pictures, a screaming gorilla) were NEW -- not old, worn cliches! I think that this film does admirably in creating a "creepy atmosphere", & it's interesting to see Micha Auer in a "creepy" role. An "oddity"....but, not bad!
