I found MGM's "Mark of the Vampire" to be a terrific film of its genre and loaded with atmosphere to rival any of the great Universal films of that early to mid 1930s era. Bela Lugosi and Carol Borland were superb as the vampires. Yes Lionel Barrymore chewed the scenery but it was all part of the fun of this highly entertaining film. If you enjoy the genre, and haven't seen this movie, get it and watch it before someone unwittingly blabs the outcome especially since Turner Classic Movie airs it from ... Read More

To top it off, it switches from horror to detective story in the blink of an absurd eye and the ... Read More

Neither of these films is very good. Mark of the Vampire has a potentially amusing twist ending that is ruined by continuity problems and a talky script that makes it seem much longer than an hour. The Mask of Fu Manchu is worth watching only for Boris Karloff's genial performance as the good Doctor, Myrna Loy as his smoking hot daughter, and the campy sets and art design. It also serves as a reminder or revelation to modern audiences of how appallingly racist popular entertainment often was in the first ... Read More
