Viewing Notes
Second movie at Music Box of Horrors. Was stoked to see this since I hadn’t watched it and it features Boris Karloff, who owns this movie. Shocked I haven’t seen this because it’s so damn good. It’s a loose “and then there were none” adaptation with a doctor that returns to seek revenge on those that convicted him of murder. Karloff’s two minute courtroom address is amazing. Really entertaining little movie that does a lot in very little time. Highly recommended.
