Rating: - Part comedy, part horror, completely ridiculous
Scared to Death is a bad movie, a really painfully bad movie, yet it is not wholly unwatchable (although I daresay I will never watch it a second time). This film is the only color movie Bela Lugosi made, and that is about the only good thing I can say about it. Lugosi was only slightly past his prime in 1947, but his acceptance of a role in this ludicrous waste of celluloid is a sure sign of the problems that plagued him in his final years. At times, he is almost a caricature of himself, running ... Read More
Rating:  - Caveat Emptor!!
Buyers should avoid the Republic version of this film, which is sheer butchery. It has been severely edited (the entire opening sequence has been removed), and the original color has been replaced with "digital color", which means that it has been "colorized", with predictably poor results. There are better versions out there, so don't waste your time and money on this hackneyed mess.
Rating: - For determined Bela Lugosi fans only.
Bela Lugosi, the ultimate low-budget grim ghoul, stars in this mild mystery thriller. It is an unusual chance to view Lugosi working with George Zucco. The opportunity is mostly wasted by the script. Zucco, behind over-sized glasses, looks like an owl with indigestion. His interaction with Bela is limited. Lugosi first appears wearing his Dracula cape, complete with crimson lining. Angelo Rossitto, Bela's familiar poverty row homunculus, tags along side. Lugosi grimaces his way through his part. The ... Read More
Rating: - More confusing than scary
For devotees of "bad movies," this film is a must-have. Despite the presence of horror-film stalwarts Lugosi and Zucco, this one is terribly boring, in large part because the plot is so badly muddled that it is virtually incomprehensible. By this time, both Lugosi and Zucco, despite their impressive acting talents, had become fixtures in third-rate horror features. In addition to the poor scripting and direction, the color is atrocious. It appears as if the entire film was carelessly thrown together, ... Read More
