Dead Men Walk (1943)
The twin of a kindly small-town physician returns from the grave for vengeance against his brother, who secretly killed him because the twin served Satan.
Pretty bad low-budget horror movies is mainly risible, but entertainingly so.
Halliwell (no star): "Incompetent chiller partly sustained by its star performance."
Maltin**: "...standard low-budget vampire tale - but it's hard to dismiss any film with Dwight Frye as a maniacal assistant."

Weit. Die Geschichte von einem Weg um die Welt (2017)
Two young Germans spend three and a half years traveling around the world just by hitchhiking, bus, train and ship.
This documentary monitors a truly admirable feat and succeeds in portraying the universal hospitality and kindness of the people the travelers meet along their journey, but it's soaked in old-fashioned hippie mentality which is mainly blind to the socio-political environments they are visiting.
