The Walking Dead does not have those dudes in it fighting off zombies or "walkers" but instead has Boris Karloff as..AGAIN..a guy who is wrongly killed and then brought back to life later. Note, this is the exact same plot outline as the one I previously reviewed on this blog, The Man They Could Not Hang
Boris Karloff is sent to the electric chair early on for a crime he did not commit, and he is executed. Some scientist brings him back with a mechanical heart, and Karloff is not quite different but not quite the same. He goes to the people who were guilty of framing him one at a time and, I guess differently enough, they all die at that time but not by HIS hand. It's done in a series of ways, mostly with them backing away from him in horror, mostly to meet their fate by whatever was behind them, such as a train. One of them has a heart attack.
The film is again just over an hour so it can't hurt ya that bad. It was directed by Michael Curtiz, who later on won an Academy Award for Casablanca, and also directed the classic Robin Hood with Errol Flynn. Wow, come to think of it, damn, this guy was a Hollywood heavyweight with over 150 films under his direction.
This s okay, it's probably what you'd expect. About 2 stars ish.
