Life Returns

Actors: Onslow Stevens, George P. Breakston, Lois Wilson, Valerie Hobson, Stanley Fields, Robert Cornish
Rating: 0 out of 10, The latest in my journey through 100 bad sci fi films was really weird and that’s saying a lot. It’s a depression era film featuring a real doctor’s experiment to revive dead dogs. It would be hard to imagine this film making it beyond a bar room joke nowadays but in the 1930s this was looked upon as almost magical. The film was every bit as bad as you can imagine with the final scenes involving the actual experiment where a dead dog is brought back to life. Before that we have to sit through a depression era story of a hubris fallen doctor friend of Dr Cornish, who plays himself in the film. The friend’s son’s dog is euthanized and he swallows his pride to bring it to Dr Cornish to revive. It was all kind of creepy.

MVP: The dog, I guess.
