The setting is a creepy mansion on a perpetually foggy island...we have two quasi- horror icons- George Zucco who seeks revenge against business associates who framed him, the other one being Lionel Atwill. This is might be the only movie where these two sub-great actors faced off- the main reason why you should watch this film. Both are very good in this one...
Very atmospheric, at one point somewhat convoluted, watching the invited guests clash was interesting but the print ! My God, the print of this film is quite bad and is screaming out for a restoration. The ending did surprise me, very unusual for Hollywood back then. The romantic subplot some say is "wooden" but I feel considering the rest of the film this youthful romance was necessary. At 1 hour 8 minutes long, this is the right length for a B- flick. 5.5 stars.
