The Devil Commands1941

Horror Vault's take

Boris Karloff stars as a brilliant scientist whose grief drives him to the dangerous borderlands between empirical research and the occult. Consumed by the desire to reach beyond death itself, he pushes his experiments further than any rational mind should dare. The film is a moody, compact chiller that showcases Karloff at his most sympathetically unhinged — a man undone not by malice but by loss.
