Invisible Ghost (1941)

A Great Crime-Thriller


LOVED this film. It's a crime-thriller with an air of mystery. This is not a typical ghost film. This film is a "ghost from the past" type of film (like seeing someone you thought you'd never see again after years of being away from each other).

Lugosi is Mr. Kessler, a rich well-respected man, who has 'snapped' after his wife's disappearance (or so he and almost everyone else thinks she's gone). Kessler sees his wife in the windows (as if seeing a ghost) then 'snaps' into a murderous rage. Mrs. Kessler (Betty Compson) reveals why she has left her husband during the course of the film.

I love the cast in this movie - well performed by all. In particular, I enjoyed Betty Compson's performance as Mrs. Kessler - very mysterious.

9.5/10
