"The Man with Nine Lives" is my second favourite Boris Karloff movie from "Columbia" after "The Devil Commands."
The man himself doesn't make his first appearance until about 25 minutes into the film but it hardly matters as he makes up for it.
The film strives for a more claustrophobic look and succeeds brilliantly.
The number of characters aren't many but that's the idea of it.
Karloff always had the knack of emoting both sympathy as well as menace.
The rather modest budget is obvious in places but this film is still worth the viewing.
