Edge of Eternity (1959) Late 1950's crime-thriller about a Deputy Sheriff in a small town, on the edge of the Grand Canyon in Arizona, trying to solve a mysterious murder in the town. The film had the look and feel of an Alfred Hitchcock movie from that era, which gave it a typical Hitchcock vibe, but he wasn't involved in the film as far as I know. |

The Vampire Bat (1933) Horror film about mysterious deaths occurring in a small European village. The victims are all found with two puncture marks on their necks and are drained of their blood. Rumors of vampires spread through the village while the local constable tries to find clues to solve the murders, which he suspects are the work of a homicidal lunatic. The plot has a couple of unexplained holes in it, which occur later in the film, but they don't ruin the film as far as horror flicks go. |

The Incredible Petrified World (1959) Low-budget adventure/exploration flick with a ridiculous plot and tedious pacing. A film where you are waiting for something interesting and/or exciting to happen but it never does. |

John Carradine was in a LOT of movies, some good, some OK, some awful. Did the man ever refuse an acting job? |

Yeah. He certainly was prolific. Bela Lugosi is another actor who was in loads of films (mostly mediocre or awful) and never seemed to refuse any acting job.

Daughter of Horror (1955) A low-budget B&W horror film with an interesting twist. A mentally disturbed young woman awakes from a nightmare in a cheap hotel room... but was it just a nightmare? The story has a visual film noir style but there's no dialog except from an unseen narrator who occasionally speaks throughout the story while music plays in the background. |

Hickey & Boggs (1972) An action/crime thriller with Bill Cosby and Robert Culp, teaming up as a couple of struggling private detectives who get hired to find an elusive woman. The trail to the woman leads to several murders and a large sum of money missing from a violent bank heist. Reminiscent of the 'I Spy' TV show that they appeared in together, for several seasons, a few years earlier. |
