65/100 A man doing research on a Professor's macabre carousel of historical figures, stumbles into a terrible secret concerning the Prof's daughter. This early horror film is definitely a product of its time with completely rote acting and dialog and our protagonist providing lots of padding through his confusion and hallucinatory wanderings. However, there's some very interesting stuff here as it became more intriguing and bizarre morphing into a morbid cross between "Re-Animator" and "A Bucket of Blood". Far more entertaining that I expected it would be. -- DrNostromo.com
