Trailer Unavailable













     Before I Hang
1940  NR  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 2min
CAST— Boris Karloff, Evelyn Keyes, Bruce Bennett, Pedro de Cordova, Edward Van Sloan
MUSIC— Moris Stoloff  DIRECTOR— Nick Grinde

     Another Karloffian quickie. Boris Karloff stars as the “mercy killer”, a doctor who offered a painless death to a suffering patient. Now condemned to hang his days are spent with the prison doctor perfecting an anti-aging formula. Using the blood of a violent murderer in his formula Karloff uses the serum on himself. Now he has the occasional blackout and commits the occasional murder. All in the name of science. An entertaining hour’s worth of silly SF.
OUR RATING— ** ½
