Glenn Strange and Onslow Stevens- HOUSE OF DRACULA (1945)

[terror-in-the-aisles-2021]

House of Dracula 1945 a year after house of Frankenstein was the last of the universal monster ensemble’s, well until they were used as comic props in Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein 1948 . In this story Larry Talbot is finally cured of his werewolf curse by a good Dr played by Onslow Stevens who earlier trying to help Dracula of his curse. Gets sabotaged by The count ( John Carridine) as he has his blood contaminate the good Dr , making him raving killer . And of course there’s the Frankenstein monster ( Glenn Strange ) found on a cavern below the Drs home, along with the skeleton of Dr Neumann from the last movie House of Frankenstein. The Wolfman is only briefly shown. The hunchback mentioned in the poster is the Doctor’s nurse played by beautiful actress Jane Adams. All this in a 67 minute movie . All on a low budget and recycled music from the Wolfman and Son of Frankenstein. Lon Chaney Jr sports a mustache for the first time as Larry Talbot. Since he did some earlier inner Sanctum movies at universal like pillow of death, weird Woman,calling Dr Death , and a few other titles which ran around a little more than an hour , I suspect these were second features. Anyway house of Dracula is an enjoyable movie. And it’s nice that Larry Talbot finally gets the cure he was waiting for. The way he was cured was using mold spores. Yes I know that doesn’t make sense but it’s more of a holistic way the DR came up with other than surgery . But then in Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein he is the Wolfman again . But that is not a sequel to house of Dracula but a parady. And also with Bela Lugosi playing Dracula for the second time on film. So which is better house of Dracula or House of Frankenstein?? The jury is put on that one . But I’ll say Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein is one of my favorites since childhood . I’ll never get tired of that one. Or any of the universal horror movies from 1925 to the 1950 s .

EMPIRE OF LIGHT (2022)

Starring Olivia Colman, Micheal Ward, Monica Dolan, Tom Brooke, Tanya Moodie, Hannah Onslow, Crystal Clarke, Toby Jones, Colin Firth, Sara Stewart, Ron Cook, Justin Edwards, Roman Hayeck-Green, Brian Fletcher, Dougie Boyall, William Chubb, Spike Leighton, Jacob Avery, Jamie Whitelaw, Dylan Blore, Adrian McLoughlin, D.J. Bailey and Tom Colley.

Screenplay by  Sam Mendes.

Directed by Sam Mendes.

Distributed by Searchlight Pictures. 113 minutes. Rated R.

This winter seems to be the time where Oscar-winning directors want to explore the magic of the cinema. First there was Steven Spielberg’s fantastic The Fabelmans. Coming soon is Damien Chazelle’s Babylon (more about that in a week or two…). And in between is this sweet tale from Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall, 1917).

Now unlike the other two movies, which celebrate the act of making films, Empire of Light revolves around the showing of those same movies. (Although, in fairness, both The Fabelmans and Babylon each have at least one segment celebrating the magic of simply watching a movie in a theater.)

Empire of Light is the story of the crew that works in The Empire, a slightly rundown but grand cinema on the British coastline, circa 1981. It is an odd mix of types and situations, but it is filled with outcasts who truly love film – and each other. (In a family way…)

And honestly, Empire of Light is a very nice film, although it could have been even better. (For the record, of the three films mentioned above, it’s worse than The Fabelmans, but much better than Babylon.)

Empire of Light has a sepia-toned nostalgia for the world it inhabits; the grandeur of the giant movie houses, the tail end of the 70s (culturally, if not chronologically), arguably the last great era of filmmaking. (Among the movies which are referenced significantly in the film are Being There, Chariots of Fire and Stir Crazy.)

In fact, in some ways, in its better moments, Empire of Light is reminiscent to that old beautiful Italian love song to theaters – Cinema Paradiso.

Unfortunately, there is a tendency to try to stuff too many storylines into the confines of the Empire of Light. We are dealing with mental health issues, adultery, racism, May/December romance, interracial romance, and more. All of these issues are important and worthy of examination but piling so many together makes everything feel a bit overstuffed.

Still, as usual Olivia Colman is just breathtaking in her role as the brittle manager of the theater, and the mostly unknown Micheal Ward is pretty much her equal as a new usher who becomes her best friend – and maybe more. And Toby Jones steals every scene he is in as the soulful projectionist at the theater.

You expect a lot when you get a film starring Colman and directed by Oscar-winning director Mendes. Honestly, Empire of Light doesn’t quite live up to that pedigree, however it is a very sweet, wistful film and a true love note to the old-fashioned theater going experience. It’s definitely an experience worth revisiting.

Ah, the Universal Monsters! Who doesn’t want to sit down with the classic Frankenstein’s Monster, Dracula, and the Wolf Man on any given Saturday afternoon? Many Monster Kids consider this episode’s film, House of Dracula (1945), the canonical end of the famous monsters’ original cinematic run; however, others will continue to include Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein (1948) into the mix, happily! Either way, director Erle C. Kenton’s third film featuring the Monster of Frankenstein is a fun, enjoyable romp regardless of how silly and overly convenient the plot remains. Lon Chaney Jr., John Carradine, and Glenn Strange all return as the Wolf Man, Count Dracula, and Frankenstein’s Monster respectively, each providing the best performances possible given the circumstances. Onslow Stevens, along with co-stars Martha O’Driscoll and Jane Adams, wonderfully provide the strands that hold the storylines together. Throw in Lionel Atwill for good measure and it’s a tried-and-true Universal Monster “house” feature. Grab your popcorn and large soda and join the Grue-Crew as they catch up with the shenanigans.
