The Invisible Man's Revenge

It should read An Invisible Man's Revenge as the plot has nothing to do with any of the preceding movies. The whole premise is turned inside out: crazy guy (it's not clear whether trauma-induced amnesia caused or prevented his psychopathic tendencies) incidentally finds a means to be invisible. But then he decides to be visible.
Some just barely interesting parts are thrown away: an off-screen African diamond-mine adventure, for example. And John Carradine's sympathetic but vicious invisible dog is not used to any kind of thrilling effect because he is made visible. A visible revengeful hound is just an annoyance but an invisible Hound of Vengeance is awesome! I mean, the title is not Visible Man's Revenge, is it? How hard is this? Some of the invisibility tricks are pretty good except for the wire-work in the second half.

The Man Who Could Not Be Hanged

Overwrought but half-baked B movie. Mad scientist is ultimately undone by society. Twice!

The Black Room

Two Karloffs for the price of one! Boris plays twin brothers living under a curse. Even though there is no Frankenstein's monster in evidence, the peasants are up in arms anyway.

Svengali

Very slick production is not too burdened by Barrymore's bottomless hamminess. Supporting cast (including Donald Crisp in a Caledonian mode) are all fine. Costume and sets (striking Expressionist gestures) are excellent. Special effects and miniatures support horror milieu. If this had been a Universal production we could have looked forward to Svengali Versus the Phantom of the Opera.

Shaun of the Dead

Political documentary on the state of culture in the UK.

The Phantom of the Opera

As a musical it isn't any worse than Les Miserables. It looks fantastic. It's a shame it wasn't done by Baz Luhrman.

The Phantom of the Opera

Claude Rains is no Lon Chaney, but there is more than enough gothic unease to go around. Quirky comic relief provided by Nelson Eddy, as well as a lovely bust of the leading lady.

Children of the Damned

Under-appreciated sequel to Village of the Damned. Creepiness has been replaced by mere panic and a Great Big Message. The alien invaders are still children and are indeed a bit demonic, but mostly they are misunderstood. Things go terribly didactic by the last reel. Commentary by screenwriter is especially entertaining.

Village of the Damned

English countryside invaded by ill-mannered alien demons. Their fiendish plot of taking over the wombs of innocent women and their addlepated men is allowed to proceed unhindered! The Soviets handle their parallel situation with considerably more Putinesque flair. George Saunders great as usual. Creepiness is undermined by lack of dramatic tension. But there is indeed creepiness, delivered for the most part by the leader of the evil, evil children.

The Last Man on Earth

Curious mishmash of filmed elements with various cameras pointed at Vincent Price. If someone claimed that the entire production had been done by students toying with exquisite corpse, I would not be able to refute based on the evidence of the movie. Sanguine interview with Richard Matheson documents his attitude toward the result: "I wouldn't be paid if I took my name off it." Not in the same class of cheapness as Target Earth.
I have not seen the Will Smith movie because I did see I, Robot.
