Movie Reviews of Night of the Ghouls
Movie Review: Hokey Silliness Disguised as a Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
This one does have some entertainment value. It is so poorly made that watching it is good for more than an hour of laughs. That's what Ed Wood movies are for.
This particular film is a sequel to BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. Tor Johnson reprises his role as Lobo and his dialogue is just as challenging in this one: "ARRGH". Kelton the cop makes his biggest appearance yet and revels in even more opportunity to demonstrate his lack of talent as both a cop and an actor. Criswell too puts in an appearace both as narrator and ghost.
The plot line, such as it is, involves police investigating claims of ghosts at the old deserted house where BRIDE OF THE MONSTER took place. It turns out that a con man is using the place to sucker people into giving up their money in the hope that their dearly departed can be raised from the dead. What complicates matters is that there are some real ghosts running around with their own agendas.
Every step of the way you are treated to poor acting, poor directing, poor sets, poor special effects, poor dialogue and poor theatre. It all combines to give a mildly amusing treat. This film is not as amusing as BRIDE OF THE MONSTER or PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE but it is worth watching for the spectacle of it all. It is also a must for Ed Wood fans.
Movie Review: Great if you like cheesy movies
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was made on the cheap, really cheap. Don't expect Plan 9 from outer space quality. It's a notch or two below that. I still found it entertaining in its own way.Movie Review: It was a nightmare of horror!
Summary: 1 Stars
An old couple, taking a shortcut at night, run into "a nightmare of horror" - an attractive blonde woman with long fingernails! The old woman can't quite stop smiling long enough to look horrified, but the police are sent to investigate anyway. Lt. Bradford, a man with a passion for internal monologue, and Kelton, an incompetant buffoon, discover Dr. Acula, a man in a turban.
Acula has been swindling money from the incredibly dense with the old raising-the-dead scam using a floating trumpet and bed sheet. But what Dr. Acula doesn't know is that he accidentally has real powers to raise the dead, and the dead just might knock off his turban! Fortunately for them, he decides to evade them by running directly at them.
"Night of the Ghouls," the long-awaited sequel to "Bride of the Monster," was left unreleased for over twenty years because writer/director Ed Wood couldn't pay the film lab fees. Though not quite as "good" as "Plan 9 From Outer Space" or "Glen or Glenda?" it's definitely worth watching just to see the look on the old couple's faces when they see the "monster." It doesn't get much better than that. God bless you, Ed Wood.
