Dead Men Walk (1943)

A Good Vampire Film


For being a low budget vampire film, the movie was really good. This is not a rehash nor even a remake of any earlier "Dracula" film - it's Elwyn the vampire instead. Elwyn studied Satanism, vampirism and black magic and before his death he made a vow to return from the grave. Elwyn's brother Lloyd is a good doctor and person. Lloyd is well respected in his community until his brother returns from the grave and people begin to suspect Lloyd of being a crazy murder.

George Zucco's performance as both twin brothers Dr. Lloyd Clayton / Dr. Elwyn Clayton was quite good. Each character/brother has a completely different personality which Zucco played both perfectly well. Zucco was two completely different men in this movie.

This is one of those films that is perfect for rainy day or late at night. I do recommend the movie if you like vampire flicks.

7/10
