Diverting and well-acted

Warning: Spoilers
Invisible Ghost is an above-average low-budget horror/suspense movie, mainly thanks to the solid acting and excellent camera work. Bela Lugosi is Bela Lugosi (as always) and plays his part with consummate professionalism and more restraint than one would have guessed. The roles of the butler and Kessler's daughter are well-acted as well, with only John McGuire occasionally seeming ill-at-ease in his role. While the explanation for Kessler's psychotic episodes remains elusive even after the movie is over, the plot itself isn't as terrible as many have portrayed. It just doesn't feel whole, that's all. If any of the persons involved in this movie would have just shot 5 additional minutes explaining and further justifying Kesser/Bela's actions and the reason for Ms. Kessler being locked up in the basement to begin with, I would have given this an 8. As it is, this is still an excellent way to waste an hour plus.
