The Monster Walks


I normally love these cheesy old "haunted house" flicks, but this has got to be one of the worst. Actors in films like this are never good, but I dont think Ive even seen it this bad. On top of that, most of the lines are completly laughable. This was in fact the first "talkie" that the writer ever made, and good Lord it shows. As obvious as it was, I think the ending was the film's high point. The maniac's expression on Mischa Auer's face was very, very convincing. Overall though, this is one bad film.

4/10

PS - On an interesting and unrelated side note, one of the paintings that can be seen briefly in one scene is hanging on a wall in my house. I thought that was very cool to see.
