| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt stars Boris Karloff at his deliciously insane best as a mad scientist. |
| User ReviewOrlok WIt was very good, and interesting. The actors and actresses were all good, and the look of the film was nice. The story kept me intrigued and I was surprised by parts. |
| User ReviewBart WAre you kidding.... this is a Karloff Klassic for those of us who grew up watching these films on TV in the 50's and 60's !!!!! |

| User ReviewChris PBoris Karloff is not an evil mad scientist, but he's more than willing to experiment on humans. Bruce Bennett, the supposed hero, heralds the great contribution of Karloff to science at the end of the film which sort of is like saying Josef Mengele was at least giving us good scientific information while torturing people. Of course the science in the film is an asinine mixture of cryogenics and poison. Lots of fun though. |
