The Ghoul. 1933.

Professor Harry Moriant is dying of a mysterious illness, after obtaining a jewel his wishes is to be buried with it. When his grave is disturbed and the jewel stolen, he rises from the dead in search of it.

Horror maestro Boris Korloff does it again in a somewhat nod to The Mummy movie except without a fez, It has the hallmarks of a dark house movies, who dunnit and why, who is the creepy person roaming around that everyone sees and some witty humour. This was one of those movies that was classed as lost and never to be seen again, thankfully it was found and restored, the acting is superb from all and great cinematography that is still appreciated and great monstrous make up. Highly Recommended.

Im a big fan of this so much atmosphere with the heavy fog and all the sets giving that creepy vibe.

Is it a case of too much action like The Raid 2 i got bored too because it was just non stop action with not much else going on. Or maybe its just not interesting.

Yes, The Raid 2 was boring as well.

I love action films it's what i was brought up on. The likes of Commando, Lethal Weapon, Die Hard, Cliffhanger.

John Wick wasn't in the least bit entertaining. The script never once grabbed me nor thrilled me. Simply shooting for shooting's sake. Go rewatch Shoot em' Up instead. Much more fun.

For The Record. The Raid, the first one, is excellent.

I felt the same with the first Raid film and i totally get what your saying all the classic and even not so classic action films have progression a good story and when the action happens it has more impact and its more enjoyable . Again agree 100% on shoot em up hilariously entertaining.
