"Have you been hearing some weird stories recently? About telepathy, the fourth dimension, or GHOSTS?"
After a prologue where a woman is murdered, The Dead Talk Back gets down to business with this off the wall monologue from one of its two narrators. Two narrators? Yes, director Merle S. Gould went all out here. Like most movies of this kind, the cast was a bunch of non-actors who didn't get paid (you'll get royalties, honest), except now we get double the scenes of disinterested people sitting around doing nothing while an off screen voice tells us what they're supposedly thinking and doing. So don't worry, the running time may only be sixty-five minutes, but thanks to this great padding you'll definitely feel like you're sitting through five hours.
