An American science fiction directed by Edgar G. Ulmer.
A former army major keeps a scientist with an invisibility ray in his home. The major then gets a safe cracker to turn invisible to steal nuclear materials to help work on the invisibility ray.
The plot didn't make much sense to me and the characters were not memorable. The special effects for invisibility looked alright, but the actors were not very good at petting the guinea pig that just wasn't there. At only 57 minutes in length, there just isn't anything therein the film either. It was a film made solely for financial reasons and it's all filler to me. No substance, in a word, vapid. I rate it bad. Don't watch it.
In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Bluebeard (1944)
An American talkie directed by Edgar G. Ulmer, starring John Carradine.
A puppeteer who strangles women set his sights on a dressmaker.
The audio and video seemed like they were from 1904 rather than '44. The plot was dry and the characters drier; Mummy dry. Being totally devoid of style, this film should have been put out of it's misery sooner because an hour and 10 minutes was too much and I turned it off half way through. I have to rate it shit.
