Viewing Notes

Could certainly make a case for this being a horror movie, an early example of its time. However, compared to Universal Monsters at the same time, it’s not close.

I like the concept of the movie, which was borrowed for another early film by Tod Browning that I shall not name bc it would be a spoiler for this movie.

This movie just needs a really clean PQ and solid audio. The transfer on Prime is garbage and I’m sure most versions out there are the same.
