Boris Karloff plays the deliciously evil Fu Manchu, a man with a mission....to resurrect his long-dead hero Genghis Khan and take over the world. Does he succeed? That would of course be telling, but I can reveal that this remarkable film has a dramatic conclusion. The special effects really are quite good, bearing in mind this film was released in 1932, and Karloff, fresh from his first major starring role as the monster in "Frankenstein" a year earlier, is as ever magnificent. The film may appear dated to some, but I believe it stands as a tribute to the true master of horror.
