In “The Black Room,” directed by Roy William Neill and starring horror icon Boris Karloff, audiences are transported to late 19th century Tirol where a sinister family legend and a case of mistaken identity set the stage for mystery and murder. When twins are born to the ruling Baron de Berghman, the youngest, Anton, is banished from the family home due to a prophecy that foretells of fratricide. Two decades later, the elder twin, Gregor, played with chilling intensity by Karloff, orchestrates Anton’s return in an attempt to share the throne. However, as mysterious disappearances and deaths plague the countryside, Gregor finds himself accused of heinous crimes and assumes his brother’s identity in a bid to escape justice. With a strong supporting cast that includes Marian Marsh and Katherine DeMille, “The Black Room” is a classic tale of family secrets, betrayal, and the darkness that lies within us all.

47.12. He blows out an electric bulb. 😮
To be honest, I didn't realise Boris Karloff was such a good actor.
GOOD OLS MOVIE! Boris looks old even when he was young!
What a very well shot film ! Particularly well done is the vocal scene @20:23, a dramatic demonstration of the mechanics of the lungs and rib cage of the vocalist !
Ignoring Mashka after she sings to him and tries to kiss him: "A pear is the best fruit! Lots of juice in a pear! Adam should have chosen a pear! I like the feel of a pear- and when you're through with it…" [throws the pear core away]. He airily dismisses his mistress when she confronts him about his plan to marry the colonel's daughter. Then he turns menacing and murderous when Mashka reveals she knows the secret of his Black Room, where he disposes of those whom he's murdered when they became inconvenient to him. Poor Mashka, his latest "juicy pear," is to be murdered and tossed away just like the pear core when he's "through" with her. Karloff was a freaking genius at playing these scary types of men. That glower of those deepset eyes behind those prominent brows- and that unmistakable Karloff voice!
Some amazing vocals… I especially liked the choir in the church towards the end of this film. (basso profundity) 🌝
Great movie throughout! Wonderful script and actors. Film quality is excellent; seems like it was recently made. Thank you.
The number of commercials, especially toward the end, was criminal!
When I started watching "The Veil, Thriller & Colonel March here on YT, I had no idea what a versatile actor he was! People who knew & worked with him stated he was such a sweet, kind & humble man. He stated that his one regret with Frankenstein was when the "monster" accidentally drowned Maria. Which was pre-code, but it was heavily edited later, because it was disturbing to some. It was restored to the original in 1980 when the prints were discovered.
what a fiend! i'm at 54 minutes now and everything is going his way! Can hardly stand it! But his adversaries are so dumb turning their backs to him even knowing what he has done and who he is! It is as if all the fates deities and gods and screenwriters were conspiring to protect this serial killer from his well deserved punishment. That is so not right at all !!!!! I'd like to call someone in Tirol and the 19th century and warn them and tell them it's not Anton but his evil twin, don't you see!! But alas impossible because they didn't have cell phones then. I'm all stressed out. How will it all end ? Now they are about to get married in addition to all that has already happened. Can't anyone intercede for crying out loud ! Watching movies is not good for my emotional state. Should wean myself of it but easier said than done .. If I could lay my hands on that monster I'd show him! Yes I would!
Excellent movie!!!
Stream City makes noises during the movie to advertise their channel. Avoid!
QUE GRAN PELICULA…GRACIAS…!!!
A good movie in 60min.
I am delighted to have found this film. I saw it as a teenager, a mere 55 years ago. I have always remembered the evil brother's monologue about his love of pears. "I like the feel of a pear". The villians always have the best lines. The quality of this print is exceptional.
A "B" which breaks out of bounds. Great work from Karloff, exquisite Germanic lighting, and some really clever split screen work, even including two pan shots!
Excellent acting by all the cast.
1936. Karloff 48. Marsh, 22. Karloff playing 2 roles was exceptionally well done on the scree., Photography, costumes, and sets were 1st class. Outstanding! Thank you.
Good one 👏 what goes around comes around, nature takes its course…
don't display intrusive ads during climactic moments, you philistine!
Great movie 😊
