Seeing Things (1930) is an interesting little entry in the comedy genre, playing with the trope of haunted houses and fortunes. The atmosphere has a quirky charm, with a blend of suspense and humor that keeps you engaged. The pacing might feel a bit off by today's standards, but it allows for some delightful character moments and cheeky interactions. There's a certain charm in the practical effects they used to conjure up the ghostly elements, quite clever for its time. The performances have that early talkie energy, unrefined yet captivating in their own way, making it a distinctive watch for collectors interested in the evolution of comedy in cinema.
This film is not particularly common, and it’s fascinating to see how it plays with early sound techniques. Most prints that exist are from private collections, and they tend to vary in quality. Collector interest is moderate, especially among those who appreciate early 30s comedies and the experimentation with sound and effects during that period.
