Unintentionally campy and funny if you catch it in the right mood. There are some good atmospheric moments here and there, and Bela, as always, gives it absolutely everything he's got.

A marvelous piece of nonsense! Edmund Lowe as the master of illusion! Making himself disappear, changing shotguns into snakes and giving Herbert Mundin a little drinking gnome! Full of adventure, weird happenings and madness. A guilty pleasure I don't feel guilty about liking! Bela Lugosi as Roxor the ultimate cartoon villain! Torturing Henry B. Walthall to make him reveal the secret of the DEATH RAY! Can Chandu stop him with his mind controlling powers?! How can one NOT love a story like that!?

Chandu, o Mágico estreava há 90 anos na Finlândia. Por estar na caixa do Bela Lugosi achei que o mesmo seria o Chandu, mas ele é o vilão. Mas tudo também não está longe da realidade, em 1934 fizeram uma cinesserie sobre Chandu e aí sim Lugosi ficou com o papel título. Prestem atenção no seu desenrolar oriental, Chandu foi a maior inspiração para a concepção do Dr. Strange da Marvel. Box OP Bela Lugosi.
