When delusional madman Roxor kidnaps a scientist in hopes of using his death ray to achieve world dominance, he is opposed by Chandu, a powerful hypnotist and yogi.
Someone at Fox put together a "Horror Classics Volume 2" set and put this film in it. But does it belong there? I suppose having a "death ray" makes this horror, or at least science fiction. And, of course, it stars Bela Lugosi. But it is not really horror in any true sense.
That being said, it is still an interesting film and well worth a watch, both for Lugosi fans and for fans of the fantastic film. I did not listen to the audio commentary from Gregory Mank (yet), but I feel like it would add a great deal to the film.
