So Bad It's Good Fun
This is not Bela Lugosi's and George Zucco's best film but it does have some entertainment value the for the fans of Lugosi and/or Zucco - in fact, it may only be Lugosi and Zucco fans that may find some entertainment value in this "so bad it's good fun" flick.
What's notable about the film is the fact it is Bela Lugosi's only movie in color. In the film we can clearly see his beautiful blue eyes - the same eyes that hypnotized audiences in "Dracula" and "White Zombie".
"Scared to Death" is not a great film but I love the campiness. Lugosi looked as if he was having a good time filming this one - which adds to the pleasure of watching this bad film.
The movie is not a complete drama. It's a dramedy (comedy-drama). The cop is there as a comic relief. You will hear the "cutesy" music in the comical parts of the film.
The movie is really worth maybe 2 or 3 stars but I'm giving it a 6 out of 10 for the fact we can see Lugosi in color and the campy fun!
6/10
