| User ReviewChuck NDon't get me wrong this is a bad movie. A bad bad bad movie, but there's something about it that's strangely appealing. (Not a recommendation) |
| User ReviewKevin CThis is such a classic movie. One of the true great insane evil scientist roles. So outrageous its great. |
| User ReviewOrlok WLugosi with LOTS of hair--Going Ape in Hollywood Circa 1943 Bela Lugosi style!! |
| User ReviewPrivate UThe most incoherent of Lugosi's Monogram pictures. Bela tries his best to retain some dignity in the ridiculous make-up he's given, but it just doesn't work. A cheesy good time, just don't expect anything great. |
| User ReviewD MBela Lugosi plays a doctor who accidentally transforms himself into an ape-man. He believes to reverse the process he needs the spinal fluid from living human-folk, but his collegue wont help him collect it. The ape-man and is pet gorrila now have to go out and get some fluid from unwilling donors. Amusing to see Lugosi shoot up and I think there was dick-joke snuck in there near the beginning. |
| User ReviewRoy CIf you read the plot synopsis on here, that's really all there is to it. Lugosi is changed into an ape. This movie was stupid, I don't know why anyone thought that was a good story. |
| User ReviewRobin HI just love these horrible B horror flicks.. |
| User ReviewWes SThis is downright awful. Lugosi plays the whole movie hunched over like a gorilla, doing the worst acting I've seen from the man (and he doesn't have much depth to begin with from what I've seen); the man in the gorilla suit (Littlefield) does a poor job of playing an ape; and there is not enough direction to bring together the sparse story and the ridiculous characters and wrap it into a coherent whole. |
