Movie Reviews of Vintage Serials Collection
Movie Review: Serial - It's not just for kids
Summary: 4 Stars
With ALPHA VIDEO's VINTAGE SERIALS COLLECTION, packaging seems to supersede content. With only two 12 episode serials inside its black laquered wooden case, can this really be called a collection? Maybe VINTAGE SERIALS TWIN-PACK would have been a more accurate description.
Contents:
THE RETURN OF CHANDU (1934)
A bare-bones 'B' grade serial with a single well-known cast member. Bela Lugosi, just three years removed from worldwide success in UNIVERSAL's "Dracula," had already begun his precipitous slide into moviedom mediocrity. Here Lugosi is the title character, a magician who could disappear at will. (In the first Chandu serial, Lugosi was the villain, "Roxor.") "Chandu" was adapted from a popular radio show of the same name.
THE STORY: An evil cult, located on a lost continent (!) intends to return a beloved goddess to life by sacrificing an Egyptian princess. The girl they've marked for death is a close friend of Chandu the magician, who repeatedly comes to her rescue.
