Day 2 movie is The Ghoul (1933) starring horror legend Boris Karloff
My review:
With this movie I kind of have mix feelings about it. While I did enjoy the film there were a few things that made film kind of stupid. Which was caused by some of cheesy dated dialogue between characters and the comic relief character Kaney. . The film overall had a good pacing and good feel to it. The film sets, atmosphere of the film, and camera work were all very good and Karloff acting is top notch which gave film a very good feel. While this film is good on the surface the thing that can get kind stupid during the film is that while during earlier parts Kaney can be kind of funny, but really by the end of the film you kind of wished Karloff as the Ghoul would of killed her. I think the movie is self aware that she is annoying character and if your like me you start riffing to yourself during her parts to make yourself stop rolling your eyes. But overall this was an OK film to watch, I would really only recommend it to a classic horror movie fan, big Boris Karloff fans, or someone interested in classic films from the 30s.
There's also a public domain version of this film available on the Internet Archive for those interested in seeing the film but don't want to spend money to see it. Click Here if interested
