     The Invisible Ray
1936  NR  SCIENCE FICTION  1h 19min
CAST— Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Frances Drake, Frank Lawton, Walter Kingsford, Beulah Bondi
MUSIC— Franz Waxman  DIRECTOR— Lambert Hillyer

     A dull little tale about an African expedition to find a meteorite thought to have landed on Earth millennia ago. Karloff splits from the main group and finds said meteorite buried in the earth. After having part of it excavated he drops down for a closer look. When he comes back he’s been poisoned by the rock; in darkness he glows, and anyone he touches will die. He decides to harness the power in a ray-gun type machine and have power over nations, but after learning of his discoveries the other members of the expedition want to use the powers for the good of mankind. So they take the research, Karloff gets angry, decides to exact his revenge, and tries to murder everyone with his touch of death. The truth is, there’s nothing original here.
