INVISIBLE GHOST

Cinemavixion Review

Joseph H. Lewis's "Invisible Ghost" from 1941 is a B-movie melodrama that leans heavily into its gothic horror premise, anchored by a committed performance from Bela Lugosi. The narrative follows Dr. Charles Kessler, a man driven to madness and homicidal tendencies after his wife's desertion. The film, clocking in at a brisk 64 minutes, navigates themes of psychological distress and hidden trauma, culminating in a descent into violence. While perhaps not a masterpiece of the genre, "Invisible Ghost" offers a fascinating glimpse into the era's cinematic exploration of the darker aspects of the human psyche, further enhanced by Lugosi's iconic presence.
