Some second-tier names get a chance to shine - George Zucco as the psycho who uses Mayan zombie techniques to get David Bruce to commit murder so Zucco can woo Evelyn Ankers away from her paramour, pianist Turhan Bey.
Silly but spooky. Zucco commits as does the relatively little known Bruce. Ankers is pretty and you wish her part was bigger, as normal. Bey stays around looking handsome and soulful and not being killed. Maybe he should have played Zucco's part so Ankers actually fell for him and had Bruce kill someone else. Just a thought.
