A strange phenomenon is plaguing the city: Brides are dropping dead at the altar, and their bodies are then stolen. A society reporter (Luana Walters) who senses a big story decides to investigate, more hampered than helped by her photographer (Vince Barnett). Her suspicions soon light on scientist George Lorenz (Bela Lugosi), and she enlists the aid of the scientist’s newly arrived assistant (Tristram Coffin), but the scientist’s sinister household threatens — though the scientist’s reckless behavior may have consequences, too. Of course, the movie is implausible and weakened by a low budget, but Lugosi as usual proves an enjoyable menace.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 343 for 2021.
