Poe and a gorilla
26 March 2021
A woman is screaming that a murder has occurred in the Rue Morgue. Paris police Insp. Bonnard leads the investigation. More women are killed. A strange figure is seen escaping along the rooftop. Prof. Paul Dupin volunteers to help. Dr. Marais (Karl Malden) is a suspect.

This is an adaptation of an Edgar Allan Poe story. It's done in 3D in the way that things are sometimes thrown at the screen. I'm not familiar with this Poe story. It's more a suspense thriller than a horror story. It does turn a bit campy with the gorilla. It can't help be anything other than a man in a gorilla suit. Otherwise, it's a fun thriller that has many B-movie elements.
