3/10
Pretty laughably bad
24 June 2016
At first, I thought this was a sequel to "Bride Of The Monster" but that was probably because that was the only other Ed Wood movie I've seen. Yes, I saw the MST3K version. It was weird watching such a short low budget movie that had never been featured on "Mystery Science Theater 3000" or even Rifftrax. Of course, it wouldn't make sense as they didn't riff on the original. Then again, I probably would have been confused by this either way. It's about as cheesy as you'd expect, but more entertaining than most examples.

At least Ed Wood's other movies had Bela Lugosi in them. I really should do more research on Tor Johnson. He did practically nothing in this entire movie. He gets shot numerous times and then kills a guy. Then he gets shot again numerous times and dies. Huh? The narration is quite laughable. I always thought it was Mitch Hedberg who came up with the joke about Dr. Acula. I doubt he saw this movie to steal from it. It is weird to have a silly name in something that's supposed to be serious. I do wonder what it would be like if Ed Wood had actually gone into comedy.

The costumes are downright terrible. I guess these poor people couldn't afford any better. There were supposed to be ghosts in this, but they looked the same as everyone else. Yep, it was pretty boring. Come on, even back then, movies had more action in them. I would have given it a slightly lower rating if not for the fact that it's fun to laugh at. *
