4.0 out of 5 stars Shockingly lousy!, June 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Murder by Television (DVD)

I suppose we're all being murdered by television to some degree but here the title is somewhat miseading. Its not really murder BY television (as in forcing someone to watch Jim Carey, for example) but murder ON television.

This minor quibble aside, MBT is incomprehensible, dull, has offensive racial stereotypes and acting not unlike Plan 9. So what's not to like? I knocked off one star as this isn't one of Bella's films that also stars the Bowery Boys...sigh...

Oh - to add to the hilarity the print has more scratches than a driver's ed movie with some bits spliced out altogether. In short, its great! Highly reccomended.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes I wish I wasn't a Bela Lugosi fan, October 23, 2007

By 

NoWireHangers (Sweden) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Murder by Television (DVD)

Bela Lugosi was a wonderful actor and he always put his heart into his performances, regardless of the film's quality. But there are times that I wish I wasn't a Lugosi fans, and one of those times ws when watching "Murder by Television". Apart from Lugosi, this movie has nothing going for it. It is dull, even at less than one hour, and the plot is completely uninteresting. And even Lugosi's performance isn't that interesting, since he's given no opportunity to show what he's capable of.

Save your time and money. Re-watch one of his other movies instead. If you really need to see this movie, it's in the public domain and can be legally downloaded for free.
