Strange Impersonation

Strange Impersonation is a 1945 film noir, but there are some elements of horror to it, including a facial disfigurement and a scientist with a plan. The DVD costs about $30 at Amazon, and they charge $2 to rent it on Prime. I watched it at Internet Archive, but that link is dead now. I don't even see a trailer online. Here's a scene:



DVD Talk calls it "a fun oddity". TCM has some information. Rotten Tomatoes has a critics consensus score of 60%.

    1. It bizarre they charge so much for these old movies so few people want to see.

  5. Too steep for my wallet. And it doesn't even sound all that interesting to me. I might look for it on TCM, but I'm thinking of getting rid of cable.

    1. I got rid of cable years ago and except for the 24-hr news/commentary I haven't missed it. Eventually we got Amazon Prime and then later Netflix. Much cheaper than cable here.

  6. These days I don't even rent movies for $2 since I already pay for Netflix, Prime, Acorn, and BritBox--LOL! ;)

    1. I agree. If it isn't free or available on the services I'm already paying for I just don't watch it.
