Voodoo Man (1944)

Fun Old Fashioned Horror


Like many horror films of the time period, it's all in fun and Voodoo Man is no exception. It's entertaining, good for a few giggles and, as usual, enjoyable to watch Zucco, Lugosi and Carradine onscreen.

Here we have Bela Lugosi as Dr. Richard Marlowe, a mad scientist of sorts, that wants to bring his long dead wife back to life. Young women are captured, hypnotized, "zombified"  and kept in Marlowe's dungeon, these women are part of the plan to bring back Mrs. Marlowe.

George Zucco plays the evil high voodoo priest that mumbles mumbo-jumbo, while John Carradine is the strangest character of them all - a guy that doesn't have much upstairs.

Overall a really fun movie - quite enjoyable way to spend an hour with 3 great legends of horror!

8.5/10
