Silly and Messy Story
29 July 2020
The prominent Dr. Charles Kessler (Bela Lugosi) lives in a house with his daughter Virginia Kessler (Polly Ann Young) and his servants and misses his wife (Betty Compson) that left him. When there is a murder in his house, Virginia's fiancée Ralph Dickson (John McGuire) is accused of the killing and sentenced to death penalty in the electric chair. Soon his twin brother Paul comes to Dr. Kessler's house, who invites him to stay in his house. Meanwhile, Mrs. Kessler is alive with neurological disorder after a car accident and hidden in the gardener's house that is secretly treating her. When she sneaks out of the house and sees Dr. Kessler in the window, he goes into a trance and turns into a killer. Will Dr. Kessler be stopped?

"Invisible Ghost" is a 1941 B-movie with Bela Lugosi with a silly and messy story. The black and white cinematography and Bela Lugosi are great but the plot is terrible. However, it is funny and entertaining despite the unbelievable situations. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): "O Fantasma Invisível" ("The Invisible Ghost")
