Dead Men Walk (1943)
5/10
"From dawn to dusk, I lie helpless in the grave..."

PRC cheapie about a small-town doctor whose devil-worshipping twin brother is killed, only to come back from the dead hellbent on revenge. George Zucco plays both parts and does a great job. He brings some much-needed class to an otherwise shoddy Poverty Row production. That isn't to say it's a bad movie. It all depends on your expectations, really. It's hard sometimes to judge these old cheapies, as most of the available prints today are in bad shape with a lot of audio hiss and poor picture quality. If you're a fan of George Zucco, I doubt you'll be disappointed. Dwight Frye has a small Renfieldesque part. He's enjoyable as always. This is also the final film of Mary Carlisle. It's a nice unassuming little vampire movie. Slow-going but watchable. Love the opening.
