It's not dull and it's not thrilling.

The film, especially in those episodes in the house of the vampires, has a creepy, loathsome quality that is at once eerie, repulsive, fascinating and powerful. Therein lies much of its strength.

Lon Chaney and Tod Browning are to be congratulated on the excellent picture... London After Midnight is conceded to be their best since The Unholy Three.

| Jan 11, 2022

There is a lot about vampires in the picture, some scenes of hypnotism and eerie stuff which Tod Browning, the director, always does so well... It would be wrong to tell the plot, and there is a surprise ending, with an amazing climax.

Well worth squirming about.

Materialization of a ghost, as performed by medium, is produced before the camera in an amazing sequence in the uncanny new story.

There are some of the customary Chancy horrors in the thing, but the preposterous story makes it fall far below the class of his usual screen dramas.

Tod Browning, whose movie scenarios are invariably weird and creepy, offers at the Capitol this week his latest effort London After Midnight, directed by the author in spooky, chilly, thoroughly absorbing fashion.

Lon Chaney continues his spell weaving... in London After Midnight, a melodrama of such eerie prospecti as vampires who assume the form of winged rodents, corpses arisen from the grave, haunted houses and a master mind from Scotland Yard.

Tod Browning wrote it -- and Tod wasn't up to his usual good form.

Lon Chaney's latest chill raiser [has] a story certain to disturb the nervous system of the more sensitive picture patrons.

| Jul 22, 2020

The suspense is marvelously sustained. Chaney plays a dual role, and, when conventionally clad, is a little less convincing than usual. In the other role, perfect.

Mr. Chaney's excellent work is materially aided by that grand master of screen acting, Mr. [Henry B.] Walthall.

[Chaney] has every opportunity for the exercise of his remarkable aptitude tor disguise which has earned for him the name of "the man with the thousand faces."

[It] gives Lon Chaney an opportunity... to manifest his powers as Scotland Yard's expert hypnotist. You are therefore treated to close-ups of Mr. Chaney's rolling orbs, which fortunately do not exert their influence on the audience.

Young, Browning and Chaney have made a good combination in the past but the story on which this production is based is not of the quality that results In broken house records.

People with weak nerves who see this film, and impressionable children, will probably find such fights mingling in the substance of their dreams for some nights afterward.
