Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932)

Good Movie If You Enjoy The Classics


The movie is loosely based on Poe's short story Murders in the Rue Morgue. It is great to watch if you enjoy the classics.

Bela Lugosi is wonderful as the twisted Dr. Mirakle. I love the costuming and overall creepy look they gave to the vile character. He had a good idea to prove evolution (the ape-human link) but the way that Dr. Mirakle goes about proving this theory is pure evil, for what he does to young women is overly cruel. He abducts the women and injects them with the blood of an ape.

I would say this movie would be a great double feature with movie classics like "The Invisible Ray", "The Black Cat" or even "The Raven".

7.5/10
