It's about a bunch of disrespectful annoying assholes; blowing up a tomb is so not cool. No amount of atmosphere could have saved it, which is unfortunate as it started out pretty well. Karloff is given nothing to do and it's just boring.

Rarely does a movie make me like it less the second time but this did. It looks great especially for a movie from '33 but it's really fucking dull throughout and it suffers from being really too damn British at some parts. 51 minutes in and it felt like I'd been watching for 2 hours. Karloff was great and it's always nice seeing Ernest Thesiger though.

A pretty unfocused mishmash. Starts out like The Mummy, then becomes The Old Dark House, with Karloff unfortunately not on hand overmuch. Has some names, but hardly any plot. (Great exchange: "You may be putting yourself perilously near dishonesty." "I've seen men nearer.")

Dullsville at times, but still pretty cool.

In a lot of ways it's the movie The Old Dark House should have been. There's some great humor and the twists are rather unexpected. Typical '30s weird menace done right.

Dry and rather dull. Not nearly the classic that it was believed to be while it was still a "lost film."
