The other 5 are all probably better than when they were in the cinema! As I wrote for "Inner Sanctum", if you know roughly what to expect and your sights aren't set too high, there is no way this collection will disapoint. Two of the films are excellent and show us what a really good actor Karloff was - "The Black Room" and "The Devil Commands" - my favourites. "Before I hang" tends to be a bit slow paced and wordy, but well worth watching, as are "Nine Lives" and "The Man they could not Hang" - strictly progammers but done with some style and the man himself as always, worth watching. I have to be honest and say I haven't watched "Boogie Man" - A comedy? like "Arsenic and Old Lace"?? I may see this out of curiosity and being a completist. VFM? Definitley and EUREKA have done a wonderful presentation as well as a fascinating booklet with full cast lists and details and background to each film. Highly recomended........A FEW DAYS LATER!....I watched BOOGIE MAN and sadly I was right in my concerns. It is a comedy and I just didn't find it funny. However Karloff and Lorre are a joy, so good to see them play out of character (well Karloff anyway) and (Miss) Jeff Donnell is a joy. It's OK and many will enjoy it, just not my cup of tea. Excellent quality and Subs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 horrors and one dud from Karloff *by T***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2021* Although the films that Boris Karloff made for Columbia don’t match up to his classic Universal roles, they were nevertheless well made and tightly produced on a low budget with an average running time a little over 60 minutes. Karloff, displaying several different appearances, appears in four “mad scientist” roles (sometimes starting experiments with the best of intentions!) in tales that include communicating with the dead (“The Devil Commands”) and taking revenge on those responsible for hanging him (“The Man They Could Not Hang”). He plays a dual role as twin brothers in the historic thriller “Black Room” which leaves “The Boogie Man Will Get You” as the dud in the package, a very unfunny spoof in which almost everyone overacts apart from a rather subdued Peter Lorre.All six movies are beautifully restored and the set is accompanied by a 48 page booklet featuring detailed information on the movies and an account of Karloff’s association with Columbia. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Disappointing *by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 October 2021* I have to say I purchased this box set and I was really disappointed.The films are all great except The Boogie man will get you which is poor.But I have to say there was no real big improvement in picture quality from the dvd collection of same films.Also the extras are disappointing as well.Your better off just purchasing the dvd collection and save yourself a few quid. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/55989491-the-man-they-could-not-hang-1939-columbia-essential-classics](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/55989491-the-man-they-could-not-hang-1939-columbia-essential-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
