The Body Snatcher

In 19th-century Scotland, avuncular cabman John Gray (Boris Karloff) enjoyed a comfortable side income robbing graves and delivering the corpses to the lecture hall of medical professor Wolfe Macfarlane (Henry Daniell). When Gray chooses to push the terms of the arrangement too far, however, the bargain ends on most unholy terms. Frightening take on the Robert Louis Stevenson tale from producer Val Lewton and director Robert Wise co-stars Bela Lugosi, Russell Wade, Edith Atwater. 77 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles; English.
