KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

RDOwens Perhaps I am not as well-versed in movie history as others are. I don't know what a Monogram film is.I like mysteries and it was recommended in Netflix. I was surprised to see it only lasted an hour. Of course, well before the hour was up I was grateful for that fact.This is not a good movie. It's akin to a bad short story; you just have to finish even though you know it's not going to get any better.The grandfather dies and the folks who were at dinner 13 years before begin dying off. Who is responsible? We eventually find out, but there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why that person is responsible.The dialogue is insipid. The acting is not good. The lighting doesn't seem too good either. There's the hard-edge detective and the campy one-liners. It just didn't work.Spare yourself; there are better movies out there. There's nothing about this that I find worth sitting through.

malgat I missed the opening titles of this movie and did not realize it was a Monogram picture.The first few minutes showed great promise, but when the police arrived after the criminal commission, the movie collapsed into the giant abyss of failure.The script has to be the worst ever, accompanied by equally bad acting.The agony was excruciating.Wanting to determine the identity of the 13th guest, I stuck it out for the duration, knowing it was only an hour long.Alas, the mystery prevails.But then, what more could be expected.

Norm-30 I've met several people who feel that this version is much better than the original (Ginger Rogers / Lyle Talbot) picture. I disagree.All the "spookiness" from the original (including the black-robed 'phantom') is gone, and the film is "just another mystery".But, to each his own!Norm

Cinebug A young girl arrives at her ancestral home and is promptly murdered-- -or is she? Twelve years earlier the murdered woman, as a little girl, had attended a birthday party for her dying grandfather. Thirteen partygoers were invited but only twelve attended. The thirteenth guest was death.Now, in the present, the original twelve guests are members of the family fighting over the will and someone wants the money badly enough to kill for it. Detective Dick Purcell is called in to solve the crime, aided by comic sidekicks and the usual inept policemen who only seem to inhabit "B" mysteries. Directed by William "One Shot" Beaudine, this 60 minute quickie is a darn good version of the Armitage Trail mystery and manages to be a little better that its 1932 predecessor-----though for some reason the 1943 film is much more difficult to see.
