Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Murders in the Rue Morgue If apes want to murder humans then they will need to send some monkeys to law school first. Nevertheless, the primate in this horror picture plans to tackle our justice system unaided. When his fiancée Camille (Sidney Fox) is kidnapped and Camille's mother (Betty Ross Clarke) is found dead clutching a clump of mysterious fur, detective Dupin (Leon Ames) takes the sampling to the morgue for analysis. Their findings eventually lead Dupin to a Parisian sideshow where he discovers that a deranged scientist (Bela Lugosi) has been conducting experiments that would see him make a hybrid mate for his talking ape, Erik. Loosely based on Edgar Allan Poe's short story about an escaped orangutan, this gorilla suit adaptation from 1932 actually improves on Poe's escaped ape concept by adding Lugosi's mad scientist character to the mix. Incidentally, it's cost effective to send convicted killer apes to zoos instead of prisons. Yellow Light

This movie is a great movie. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It is very scary. It is not a 6.4 6.4 is a good ratting. But this is a 10. Not a 6.4. That is underrating. This is a one of the best horror movie of all time. See it. It is a great movie. If it does not scary you no movie will. See it. It is a great movie. It is one of the scariest movies of all time. It is scarier then The Exorcist. And that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Friday the 13th and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then Halloween and that is not easy to do. See this movie.

The movie is loosely based on Poe's short story Murders in the Rue Morgue. It is great to watch if you enjoy the classics.Bela Lugosi is wonderful as the twisted Dr. Mirakle. I love the costuming and overall creepy look they gave to the vile character. He had a good idea to prove evolution (the ape-human link) but the way that Dr. Mirakle goes about proving this theory is pure evil, for what he does to young women is overly cruel. He abducts the women and injects them with the blood of an ape.I would say this movie would be a great double feature with movie classics like "The Invisible Ray", "The Black Cat" or even "The Raven".7.5/10

Robert Florey directed this loose adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe short story. Here, Bela Lugosi plays maniacal Dr. Mirakle in 19th century Paris, who is conducting sinister experiments with abducted local women, injecting them with ape blood in order to prove his theory of human-ape kinship. He has so far met with failure, though medical student Pierre Dupin(played by Leon Ames) is determined to solve the mysterious murders, since his girlfriend is the latest abductee... Silly film has some harrowing moments but no credibility, even though Lugosi gives it a good effort. The original short story deserves a better treatment than this...
