Doctor X 1932 Views

Movies & TV shows

Somebody's murdering people on the full moon and cannibalizing their bodies (in 1932, no less -- zombies aren't even eating flesh yet). Renowned medical expert Dr. Xavier (Lionel Atwill) is called in to examine the latest victim, and it is determined that the killer is likely one of the doctors at Xavier's renowned Academy of Surgical Research. Given 48 hours to solve the case before the police move in, Xavier spirits his staff and his lovely daughter (Fay Wray) to a spooky Long Island estate for a series of experiments that will conclusively prove whodunnit. Things are not what they seem, however, and gatecrashing detective Lee Taylor (Lee Tracy) isn't helping matters at all.
