Svengoolie’s little side gags are mostly unbearable and sometimes funny in the most driest sense.
The film had cool ghost effects for its time, but the dialogue was ridiculously expositional—to the point where it made the acting horribly unconvincing.
Very weird movie.
And the score was pleasant, but it also seemed misplaced.
2/4 for me.
