Movie Info

A minor vampire thriller that's in need of a blood transfusion.

Embora superior ao original (o que não é difícil) e mantenha um bom ritmo ao longo de seus 62 minutos, o filme vale mais como curiosidade por trazer Bogart em um dos desempenhos mais absurdos de sua carreira.

The Return of Doctor X is simply twaddle, albeit mildly pleasant twaddle.

It is only the charm of its two leading men (Dennis Morgan and Wayne Morris) that keeps it afloat.

Audience Reviews for The Return of Doctor X

This movie is supposed to be the sequel to Dr. x, but it strays so far away from the original that it's a different story altogether. Bogart, who wasn't in the first movie plays an evil scientist, and it's not his best performance. I didn't like this movie.

Even that is a bad film, Bogart's performance is not as bad as the other characters film.
