"It Comes to Life!"
- Director: Karl Freund
- Genre: Horror, Romance, Classics,
- Studio: Universal Pictures
- Subtitled | Widescreen | Black & White | Duration: 80 Mins
Overview:
Boris Karloff's next film after Frankenstein shows what an intensely subtle actor he was compared with the walking-dead performances of the supporting cast. He plays the ancient Egyptian Im-Ho-Tep, who has been buried alive for trying to restore life to his beloved princess. Brought back to life in the present day, he pursues his lost love, believing her to be reincarnated as the fiancée of a member of an archaeological expedition. Master photographer Karl Freund directs without shock tactics - apart from the burying alive scene - but with images of death and decay worthy of Edgar Allan Poe. However, Freund is no James Whale and this particular Universal horror lacks the brilliant touches of the Karloff Frankenstein films.
