Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

LeonLouisRicci There's a Lot Going On in this Monogram Quickie Directed by the King of Quick Draws, William Beaudine and Starring John Carradine. It is a Mad Scientist Movie but the Scientist Here is Really Not Mad, Just Determined to Help Mankind Although He Does Experiment Out of the Box.Robert Shayne is the Assistant and Figures in a Love Triangle of Sorts and there is Voodoo Magic, a Brain Surgery Suffering Wife that Really has Nothing to do with the Story, Reincarnated Ghostly Apparitions, a Family Dog that Walks Through Walls, and Some Mad Lab Scenes that are Somewhat Impressive.It's a Jammed Packed Little Low Budget Movie Crammed with Sincere Characters and One Loopy Lunatic, Some Grisly Murders, and the Whole Thing is Handled Perfectly Serious and Straight. That Makes for Some Edge and it is More Melodramatic than Scary and has More Food for Thought than Usually Found in This Type of Outlandish Horror. Overall, it is Above Average and the Tone is Quite Different than the Usual B-Movie Crazy Scientist Stuff. The Cast is Good and the Result is an Unusual Display of a Number of Ingredients Thrown Together Quite Irrationally and Intentionally and that Makes this Stand Apart from its Poverty Row Cousins.

dougdoepke For a horror movie, it's pretty hard to come up with a fresh version of reviving the dead. Here well-intentioned scientist Carradine wants no monsters, just an opportunity to give folks a second chance. Of course, things turn out otherwise, when a revived mastiff dog walks through walls on his way to ripping out throats. It doesn't help that creepy housekeeper Maria has her own voodoo plans, while a romantic triangle emerges between Carradine's wife Drake and lab assistant Shayne plus his girl Wriston.Sound complicated. Yes, too bad the script didn't pare down and concentrate on creepy aspects. And I agree with others—we should see more of Carradine who's quite effective in restrained fashion. On other hand, there are those crackling Frankenstein arcs, better than expected for cheapo Monogram, while the spectral images passing through walls are also well done. However, maintaining a spooky mood with a more boffo ending would have really helped. Then too, I could have used more of the marble faces that are both novel and unsettling. But then, this is a low-budget quickie that still manages a few compensations.

Joseph Brando John Carradine appeared in more films than any other actor. Many of them were B-Horrors like this one. But he has such a cool persona, he is able to lift this "been there, done that, return life to the dead" black and white horror film up a notch or two with the help of a largely likable and interesting cast. Carradine plays a doctor whose scientific experiments are bordering on bringing the dead back to life. There is a love triangle mixed into the plot as well as a sinister housekeeper who practices voodoo played to the hilt by wonderful Rosa Rey, who makes a perfectly ominous witch. She is worth the price of admission alone. A great way to spend a little over an hour if you like these kinds of horror movies.

bensonmum2 While The Face of Marble will never be confused with a great horror film, it is a decent little movie from the infamously cheap Monogram Pictures and director William Beaudine. John Carradine plays a doctor intent on discovering the secret to bringing the dead back to life. In most scenes, he rises above the material given and delivers a first class performance. The less said about the rest of the cast the better. They can generously be described as wooden and unemotional.The movie begins with Carradine and his assistant attempting to bring a dead man back to life. After this fails, he tries the procedure on his wife's dog (Carradine's character kills the dog with little or no remorse or care for his wife's feelings). And finally, his wife gets the opportunity to experience the whizzing and sparking machines in his lab. There's also a housekeeper who practices voodoo and has some sort of control over the dog and wife. The housekeeper uses her power to have the dog and wife do her bidding. Under the housekeeper's control, the wife kills Carradine and attempts to kill everyone else in the cast.For the limited budget, there are actually some good special effects. Some of the scenes where the dog walks through the walls are especially effective. Also, much of the budget appears to have been spent on fancy lab equipment. Carradine has a room full of electronic gadgets similar to those in Frankenstein. The marble effect (from which the movies title comes) is, however, not especially good or memorable.If you can get past the lackluster supporting performances and the obvious budget constraints, The Face of Marble can be a somewhat fun little film. Not the best, but watchable.
