This one was popular in 1931. The tribute to Knute Rockne was a nice touch. But today, it is just a standard football drama. J. Farrell MacDonald is excellent as the coach. For old-time movie buffs, it is an OK film to watch.
Very dated film. Overacted to the point of absurd. Story is OK but presentation is sloppy. Direction is only fair. This one should be forgotten.
Talk about a film that fans either hate or love. My opinion is that it was the first to tackle this kind of horror story and, as such, is fairly well done. Oland is excellent. Hull is OK in spots but reportedly hated this role and did not give his all. Production is very good. Hajos composed his finest score for this film. There are some long stretches of uninteresting dialogue and situations here, the fight between Hull and Matthews is sloppily handled, and the comedy relief is just not very funny. But the first attack, the sequence where Hull prays for help, and the finale (with some wonderful Hajos music playing in the background) all are memorable. So it is a mixed bag but worth a look for old-time horror fans.
