5/10
Low rent horror with a trio of genre stars

Warning: Spoilers
VOODOO MAN is one of many horror B-flicks that Bela Lugosi shot for Monogram Pictures in the early 1940s. It has William "One Shot" Beaudine directing, no less, and it features a hodge podge plot about some evil voodoo practitioners kidnapping beautiful young women and holding them captive in an isolated house for their own sinister rituals. Lugosi is at his sinister yet urbane best, as ever, and there are some of those eye close-ups that were a staple for the actor ever since WHITE ZOMBIE. Horror fans get their money's worth with the presence of John Carradine as a simpleton servant and George Zucco as the evil voodoo priest. It's cheap, repetitive, and cheerful, and at just an hour it doesn't outstay its welcome.
