剧情简介
Doctor X (1932) is a First National/Warner Bros. horror and mystery film. Based on the play originally titled The Terror (New York, February 9, 1931) by Howard W. Comstock and Allen C. Miller,[1] it was directed by Michael Curtiz and stars Lee Tracy, Fay Wray, and Lionel Atwill. The film was produced before the Motion Picture Production Code was enforced. Themes such as murder, rape, cannibalism and prostitution are interwoven into the story. The film was one of the last films made, along with Warners' Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933), in the two-color Technicolor process. Black and white prints were shipped to small towns and to foreign markets, while color prints were reserved for major cities. PS.

观众心声
本片是双色电影的末期作品之一，跟《Wax Museum》同年上映，也是Warner Brothers第一部恐怖电影。经典疯狂科学家故事，没太大惊喜。Wells的黑化原理和动机牵强，结局也比较仓促，不过妆造辨识度挺高。Lee这个油滑记者的人设神经喜剧味略浓，让我有些反感。看完不禁感叹，果然第一个被排除嫌疑（尤其是出于身体原因）的人最可能是真凶。
X博士的故事围绕纽约记者 对月亮杀手连环案的追踪展开 凶手只在满月之夜作案 受害者均被残忍勒死 警方将嫌疑指向外科研究院的泽维尔博士 随着调查深入 泰勒发现泽维尔进行的器官移植实验竟创造出不死怪物 被移植尸骸拼凑而成的X博士 在月圆之夜苏醒屠戮生灵 影片巧妙将科学怪人叙事与都市传说结合 凶手作案的周期性 暗示理性与疯狂的永恒博弈 泽维尔实验室位于悬崖边的哥特式豪宅 其内部充满试管手术台与神秘符号 这种视觉设计既强化了恐怖氛围 也隐喻着科学探索如同在悬崖边缘行走 稍有不慎便会坠入深渊 博士他白天是温文尔雅的学者 夜晚却化身操控怪物的疯狂科学家 这种双重人格的演绎通过眼神语调的微妙变化展现 为后世同类角色树立了标杆 在音效设计上大量使用玻璃碎裂声 金属摩擦声等环境音 极大增强了恐怖沉浸感
因为某部知名Cult电影的片头曲，于是整部片都在先入为主地怀疑博士才是凶手。

关于月光杀人魔的故事，悬疑恐怖犯罪标签，但其实拍得也挺诙谐幽默。
