Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis silly fantasy sci-fi adventure film is based on a popular radio serial.
Creative Loafing - 5/10 by Matt BrunsonThis programmer benefits from solid production values -- it was shot by the legendary James Wong Howe and co-directed (with Marcel Varnel) by renowned art director William Cameron Menzies -- but the story and acting are strictly amateur hour.
User Review - 10/10 by Christopher SI am surprised that this piece of awesome pulp action is a total obscurity. It has death rays, mystic yogis, a beautiful princess, an Egyptian temple, hypnosis, telepathy, a sandstorm, Bela Lugosi as a James Bond villain, etc., etc. The special effects are superb. The sets are impressive. James Wong Howe's cinematography is beautiful. It's like Enter the Dragon in being the complete pulp movie.
User Review - 10/10 by George NFantastic fun and prime, sexy Lugosi in a lavish well produce non-horror film. Much better than you might expect. Raiders of the Lost Ark for the 1930's.
User Review - 8/10 by Justin RCheesy, sure. But an entertaining adventure flick, kind of a proto-Indiana Jones, but with a hero who can turn guns into snakes WITH THE POWER OF HYPNOSIS!.
User Review - 6/10 by Art SPreviously a radio serial, the titular magician (who learned his trade from the yogis of the East) is called to Egypt to stop evil Roxor who has stolen the plans for a death ray and plans to use it! Bela Lugosi makes a great diabolical Roxor but Edmund Lowe is just serviceable as Chandu (though not for lack of trying). The direction by art department stalwart William Cameron Menzies (Things to Come, 1936) and Marcel Varnel keeps things moving with some surprises (secret doors and the like) and only a few dull moments. Special effects boost the scenes where Chandu uses his magic and the sets are better than average. There is a love interest (Irene Ware) and also a teenage daughter (June Lang) who gets kidnapped and put up at a slave auction (remember this is "pre-code"). There are a lot of white people playing Egyptians or Indians and, if there weren't some on both the good side and the bad side, the racism might be a bit more overt. But fortunately, everything is played with good humour and the main source of comic relief is a drunken British ex-soldier, now servant (played by character actor Herbert Mundin, also seen in The Adventures of Robin Hood, 1939). All told, an okay adventure story with elements that elevate it beyond the standard for the usual b-pictures of the day.
User Review - 6/10 by Scott SThis is Bela Lugosi in his prime. His performance as the evil Roxan is definitely the best part of this old, Saturday matinee movie. I did not care at all, however, for Edmund Lowe as Chandu. The sets are large, the visual effects pretty good for the time, and the pacing is rapid-fire (as all good serials should have).
User Review - 6/10 by Trent RWith Egyptian magic, a death ray and Bela Lugosi, this could of been the greatest movie ever. Sadly, it's more interested in the magic hero then the death ray so it kind of lumbers about after a great first 3rd.
User Review - 4/10 by Chance FCamels. Stone temples. Bela Lugosi. Death Ray. You decide.
User Review - 4/10 by Bill TWatchable fantasy thriller with Bela Lugosi as an evil scientist developing a death ray and Edmund Lowe as the titular Chandu trying to stop him.
