Lew Landers directed Bela Lugosi as Armand Tesla, an 18th century researcher into occult matters who ended up becoming an evil vampire upon his death. In 1918, he is tracked down and staked by Lady Jane and Professor Saunders, but 23 years later is accidentally resurrected in a German air raid attack, who then goes on a campaign of revenge against Lady Jane and her family by impersonating a refugee(a Dr. Bruckner). Oh yes, he has a talking werewolf named Andreas(played by Matt Willis) in his power as well... Atmospheric but silly and tedious film has good performances by all, but only the settings of both WWI & WWII give the film any novelty; and that talking werewolf was a bad idea!
