Awkward Story But Watchable
What a rather awkward combination of horror tropes and story! This one is a mix of mad doctor preforming a 'Frankenstein'-ish experiments, voodoo by a gypsy-witch, and a ghost dog rolled into a bizarre tale with a strange love triangle.
I feel the writers where trying for something different - and they achieved that but stirred too many ideas into one film.
2 main plots: The first plot is of a doctor and his assistant working on bringing back the dead. The other plot of a wife that fell in love with the assistant and her witch maid uses voodoo to try to capture the heart of the young assistant. The ghost-dog is just sorta there - the bridge between the two plots which fits together in the end.
Did I like the film? To a degree yes it was fun! But it's too much of a mixed bag to be good. Bonus points here for John Carradine who did his best with what was handed to him.
