Ted B @Movieaddicted Aug 12, 2025 3.0 stars; I'm sure this was a B-reel movie in the 1940s. However, I'll confess that I enjoyed the mystery part of it. They even threw in a little bit of a 1940s hi-tech aspect. like many of the films of this genre in the '40s, the comedy was very silly and sophomoric.

See more Dec 19, 2019 A typical Poverty Row B Movie mystery. It has most of the elements of an Old Dark House mystery--with dust covered furniture, cobwebs, secret rooms and hidden passages along with a masked murderer, and delightfully awful members of a money hungry family. The plot is a bit choppy and the murders few. But overall, it has some nice atmospheric moments, solid acting, and was painless enough for me to watch again sometime.

It's meant to be a mix of comedy and horror, but I think the slapstick and silliness between characters pushes it a bit over the edge and it just comes off as silly most of the time. The characters aren't terribly interesting, but the story has some interesting things about it. The movie is a remake of The 13th Guest and is based upon the novel by Armitage Trail, who was the author of Scarface. A movie like this, as apposed to some of the other much broader movies of its type (I'm thinking in the vein of some Three Stooges shorts), is at least fun to watch. It's never boring and never really insulting. So it's pretty much middle of the road, but I kind of enjoyed watching it. I just wish that it was less silly. I don't mind the comedy, but it just went a bit too far for my taste. See more Read all reviews
