 Rating: - A mad count who loves the hunt, a stalwart hero, a tremulous heroine...no, it's not The Most Dangerous GameThe best thing -- and that's pretty good -- about The Black Castle is that it's a black-and-white Forties' gothic grabber featuring a murderous mad count which was somehow made in 1952. The star ostensibly is the British actor Richard Greene, a capable leading man who reminds me of an earlier version of Roger Moore.

Boris Karloff and Lon C haney are back in another great horror film. Packed with sword fights, murder, jealousey and obsession.

Here, Karloff has a supporting, not a staring role, but the movie is worth a look. Sets are done nicely, music reminds you of Frankenstein, and acting is good. Basic plot is about an evil Count who lives in a gothic castle, and has killed two Englishmen, whom he sought revenge on. Enter Richard Greene who is out to find what happened to them. In the process, his ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
