Before I Hang (1940)
10/10
BORIS KARLOFF WAS A MERCY KILLER!
7 April 2003
I viewed this film many years ago, and have not seen it for a long time. I was surprised to see Evelyn Keyes as co-star with Boris Karloff, playing his daughter. It is hard to believe that Evelyn Keyes had just finished working in "Gone With The Wind" in 1939 and then in 1940 played a minor role with Karloff in a low budget "B" movie. Karloff becomes a Mercy Killer and then is injected with a murder's blood and starts killing all his old friends. It appears that Karloff does not know just what he wants to do in this picture, help people become younger and live longer, or prevent them from suffering, or just plain kill them. You have to be a Boris Karloff fan to enjoy this film classic.
