Black Dragons

1942 · 64 min

A creaky, shadowy wartime thriller that trades logic for lurid menace and a few good shivers.

Tagline: It's the picture that has the whole town shivering!
Overview: It is prior to the commencement of World War II, and Japan's fiendish Black Dragon Society is hatching an evil plot with the Nazis.

The actual leaders are murdered and replaced with their likeness.
How it feels: Dark, tense, campy and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
