⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2
Leslie Nielsen plays Brett Kingsford, a playboy detective and occult expert, investigating a series of Ripper-esque murders in 1890’s San Francisco. The commissioner is left scratching his head as the attacks seem to be animalistic in nature but a talisman left behind at each murder scene points to something more human behind the murders. Suspicion lands on Brett’s best buddy Robert, after a series of blackouts leave him unable to offer any alibi for the time of the crimes and he has a connection to all of the victims. The beast we’ve spotted looks nothing like the soon-to-be-wed Robert but if a Sumerian demon were possessing him, then I suppose that could explain a few things. Robert, convinced that he is the monster and getting no help from Brett, goes to see the mystic Professor Malaki but of course this Malaki fellow may be up to something sinister. Brett plays it cool but he’s working behind the scenes to fish out the culprit and prove his pal’s innocence for the sake of his sanity and fiancée. Disguises, a loyal dwarf butler, and a goofy lookin ghoul bring nothing but joy and a foppish turn from Nielsen is nothing but wonderful. Intended as a pilot but never picked up for series.
