The Invisible Ray - 1936 - 6/10

Professor Rukh invents a telescope that permits him to peer deep into the universe, and into Earth’s past.
Even seeing a meteorite strike Africa millions of years ago.
He and a team journey to Africa and FIND the meteor. Hooray.
Except the rock is dangerous. Exposed, Rukh’s touch is lethal, and his mind is going.
So-so Universal SciFi / mystery marred by a lackluster script.
This re-teams Boris and Bela, although Mr Lugois is underutilized.
Nevertheless, this has genuine spooky moments and Karloff is excellent.
