Creepy goings on at Ingston Manor, 28 February 2005
7/10
Author: Chris Gaskin from Derby, England

Night Monster is one of those mystery-chillers that Universal made in the 1940's.

Doctors looking after wheelchair bound Kurt Ingston are murdered but no body seems close to finding out who the murderer is. Other murders also take place and several people get blamed for these murders including the butler and chauffeur. Kingston later discovers he can walk...

This movie has a very creepy atmosphere throughout and instead of the usual thunderstorm in this one, we get fog.

Now to the cast, which is lead by horror veteran Bela Lugosi (Dracula) as the butler and he is joined by several stars who have appeared in sci-fi/horror movies: Lionel Atwill (House of Dracula, The Ghost of Frankenstein), Leif Erickson (Invaders From Mars) and Frank Reicher (King Kong). Ingston is played well by Ralph Morgan, brother of The Wizard of Oz star Frank Morgan.

Night Monster is worth seeing if you get the chance. Very creepy.

Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
