doctor x (1932)

A wisecracking newspaper journalist is trying to get a scoop on the "Moon Killer" murders, in which the victims are strangled, and cannibalized, but only during a full moon. Police believe that a scientist at the Academy of Surgical Research is responsible and question Dr. Xavier, who runs the place with a number of scientists. The journalist hides out and follows Dr X's experiments as the Dr himself tries to discover the killer. But can they do it before the next full moon, and save the Doctors daughter played by Fay Wray?
A slow start does nothing to prevent this enjoyable film soon rattling through the possibilities as we try to second guess the script and find the killer.
