Excellent, a Must See

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Well, the title doesn't make any sense. Aren't all ghosts invisible? Either way, there are no ghosts in this movie, transparent or otherwise. The film is about Charles Kessler (Bela Lugosi) who unknowingly commits a series of murders after his wife seemingly dies in a car accident. This is a fine effort for a cheap Sam Katzman production. Most of the performances are good, and Clarence Muse steals the show as Mr. Kessler's butler, Evans, who gets a decent amount of screen time, lines, and isn't too stereotypical. Muse doesn't portray Evans as the typical "Oh Lawdy" scared black servant that was popular in old dark house horror movies at the time. Something in his facial expressions and delivery gives him a sarcastic and humorous edge. Unfortunately, this isn't one of Lugosi's best performances. He is so expressionless throughout, it's hard to tell when he is or isn't in a trance. However, he still has that certain something that always makes him fun to watch.The story also leaves something to be desired. Unless I missed something, I don't think it ever explains why he killed anyone. I must say though, it does have some artful cinematography and lighting. The scenes where Kessler sees his "dead" wife through the window are expertly shot. Overall, I have to say this is fun rainy day entertainment. If you have a tolerance for low budget 40s horror movies, you just might have a good time watching this one. Also, watch for the scene in which Lugosi has his butler serve him and an empty place for his wife at the dinner table. Definitely the eeriest scene in the film.

LOVED this film. It's a crime-thriller with an air of mystery. This is not a typical ghost film. This film is a "ghost from the past" type of film (like seeing someone you thought you'd never see again after years of being away from each other).Lugosi is Mr. Kessler, a rich well-respected man, who has 'snapped' after his wife's disappearance (or so he and almost everyone else thinks she's gone). Kessler sees his wife in the windows (as if seeing a ghost) then 'snaps' into a murderous rage. Mrs. Kessler (Betty Compson) reveals why she has left her husband during the course of the film.I love the cast in this movie - well performed by all. In particular, I enjoyed Betty Compson's performance as Mrs. Kessler - very mysterious.9.5/10

I loved the high, wide-angel shots looking down a flight of stairs, overlooking the foyer, and the great set designs and lighting in the dark, old house. One cannot miss, nor forget, the shot of Lugosi menacingly staring out the window just before 14 minutes into film; and Lugosi being filmed through the burning fireplace, giving him an even more devilish look. Sometimes harsh black-and-white photography mixes quite well with the more subdued, almost washed-out look the film has during some calmer, tranquil scenes. Well done camera-work and lighting, and impressive set designs, are assets to the film as well as Lugosi's always entertaining presence, in a (sort of) out-of-type character for him. Instead of playing a quieter villain, here, his character is a kindly old man who is completely unaware of the crimes he is committing under hypnosis. I have not mentioned the plot of this film for a reason: it's quite confusing, inconclusive, and at times, downright silly: Lugosi is a sleepwalking killer, who has murdered women in a similar fashion in his dark, old house, after the sudden loss of his beloved wife.Yes, well, I said it was confusing and inconclusive. It's worth a look for Lugosi fans, but film is far from his best, and non-Lugosi fans will be quickly bored with it.

Lugosi once again gets to try to instill sincerity into a ridiculous plot. He's a seemingly kindly doctor who becomes a psychotic killer (committing the deeds while in a trance) when he spots his insane missing wife (Betty Compson) whom he adored, but in denial over the fact that she abandoned him for another man. One of his duller Monogram programmers, Lugosi couldn't add life to this by adding his own plasma. Obviously cheap sets (that look like they are about to collapse), a script that even lacks camp, and a dull supporting cast (lead by Polly Ann Young as his unfortunate daughter given a dull romance for a secondary story line) are other flaws. Terry Walker adds some amusement as the humorous maid. Young highly resembles her more popular sister (Loretta) but doesn't have her acting chops. John McGuire has the strange role of Young's boyfriend who got sentenced to death for allegedly killing a jealous girlfriend, then suddenly comes back as the twin nobody knew he had. Veteran black character actor Clarence Muse fortunately avoids stereotypes as the loyal butler who is actually the smartest person in Lugosi's household. Compson, a star of the early 30's, would have been better to have skipped this one. The eerie musical score was also heard in Lugosi's 1932 horror classic, "White Zombie", but seems strangely inappropriate here. The painfully slow pacing destroys this even further.
