The abandoned Balfour House, the owner of which was found dead five years earlier, comes back to life with the arrival of two suspicious sinister-looking tenants. This film was lost in the 1965 MGM vault fire; only a few stills exist.

This movie would have been gorgeous to see back in its time. Great atmosphere and plot.

Nice PowerPoint presentation, it was not that bad, better than some films, sad that a lot of the films got destroyed, I think it could have been a good film as a whole. The PowerPoint part made it funny for me, with the zooms and that.2/5

There’s a lot of things we can say about London After Midnight, but sadly almost nothing we can say about the film itself. Why? The film has been lost for a long time. Despite that, I think it’s fascinating to see this reconstruction and imagine what this movie was; a sadness it is lost though.
