Nothing new in this thriller with Bela Lugosi as the mad scientist ("Dr. Marlowe") who is kidnapping young women from their cars and using hypnotism and a bizarre voodoo mysticism to steal their life-force in order to restore his long dead wife. George Zucco is his garage-owning sidekick who helps p ... rocure the victims. A journalist (Tod Andrews) is picked up by Louise Currie after he runs out of petrol, but after she, too, is taken he joins up with the local sheriff to get to the bottom of it all. John Carradine steals this as the gormless "Toby" but otherwise it's all been done before, and to a similar standard. It's not terrible, but that's not really much of an endorsement.
