Nice Classic Sci-Fi Crime Thriller
Before I hang is a pretty nice sci-fi crime thriller. I agree with others it's sorta a Jekyll and Hyde type of movie - but not a rip off. (Mad) Scientists have been in movies for years and this is one in that category. Worth watching if you like these types of films.
Dr. John Garth (Karloff) is a scientist working on an experiment to prolong the human life, did a mercy killing and was sentenced to death by hanging for it. While on death row, the prison doctor and the warden became fascinated with the idea of living longer so the warden allowed, with the help of the prison doctor, Dr. Garth to continue his experiments until the walked death row. While doing the experiment Dr. Garth accidentally ended up mixing the blood of a real killer with the serum and was injected with it - this is where things change for Dr. Garth and the film.
Make it a double feature with Karloff's The Man They Could Not Hang (1939).
Nice classic.
9/10
