Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThough obscure and just a mediocre film, film buffs have maintained an interest in it through the years because of their curiosity over the grotesque looking Rondo Hatton.
User Review - 8/10 by Aj V"You never can tell what a man will do when his mind's affected." Actor Rondo Hatton is a Dick Tracy villain come to life. Acromegaly (a disorder of the pituitary gland) transformed him into one of the most memorable character actors of 30s and 40s B movies. The Brute Man is one of the earliest serial killer flicks, depicting Hatton's Creeper as he stalks and murders his way through several college alumni. It's a whirlwind flick, running just under an hour, but you won't be able to tear your eyes away whenever Hatton's on screen. VF.
User Review - 8/10 by Richard GMade in 1946.A facially deformed and mentally unhinged man wreaks his revenge on those who deformed him with a series of brutal murders.Decent Seriall Killer Flick from Universal,you cant keep your eyes off Rondo Hatton as the Creeper whenever he's onscreen,Despite him being evil i did actually sympathise with his character and he even gets tangled in a love affair with a blind woman,do check it out its a really good Thriller.
User Review - 8/10 by Mark DA high quality picture... I genuinely enjoyed this movie, it was nice to see Universal use someone other than Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in there horror movies. Although it wasn't the greatest film of all time, and the disfugered man didn't look all that grotesque as they seemed to think, it was still original and highly interesting to watch!
User Review - 6/10 by Michael TAn unusual and forget film of Universal Monsters Saga. I recomend it.
User Review - 4/10 by James RFew people in Hollywood were exploited more than poor Rondo Hatton, whose face was disfigured by the disease of acromegaly and was billed as the only horror movie monster who didn't need makeup. Unfortunately, despite his famous appearance (paid tribute to by the large henchman in "The Rocketeer"), most of the films he appeared in were just forgettable quickies like this one, which wants to achieve the depth of "Frankenstein", but is undermined by its cheap production values and stupid characters. However, it's worth watching just to see the character of Mr. Harkins, the grumpy old storekeeper who's so crotchety that when this film was featured on "Mystery Science Theater", Mike Nelson could not contain his laughter when he was on-screen.
User Review - 4/10 by Wes Sit has a few decent moments, and some good characters, but the story isn't too great and it can get very slow at times. It's one of the few Universal Monster movies to be on MST3K, but it's not hard to understand why it was.
User Review - 4/10 by James-Masaki RThe final film starring the disfigured actor Rondo Hatton, as a serial killer who falls for a blind woman. It was supposed to be the direction Universal was taking their horror films, using realism instead of fantasy lore. But this ended up being closer to an exploitation film with a disfigured man. With the death of Hatton, Universal did not want to capitalize on it, so they sold it off to a small studio and eventually to Mystery Science Theater. Probably one of the better movies featured on there, it's still really flawed. Incredibly hammy plotline with some subpar dialogue, but there are some pretty unsettling scenes in it, so it doesn't go to waste.
User Review - 4/10 by Byron BWatching some of the old MST3K episodes available for streaming on Hulu and Netflix (there is a different random selection on each platform). Whether it is Joel or Mike watching these awful movies with the bots I do not envy their torture. Their snarky comments add some entertainment value, but my ratings are based on the movie's quality itself and not the commentary broadcast from the satellite of love. Rondo Hatton suffered from acromegaly, a slowly progressing disease of deformity. He starred here as Hal Moffat AKA 'The Creeper,' a sympathetic monster in the style of Frankenstein's creation. In fact it was the last film he appeared in and Rondo had died earlier in 1946 before this screened. Hal Moffat seeks revenge on former scientific partners who left him in a chemical accident. There is even a sweet romance as a blind piano teacher played by Jane Adams treats him with the human compassion that he so rarely receives. The police drama tracking down The Creeper is not very interesting, but the film noir aesthetic is quite good. And every time Rondo Hatton is on screen I found myself drawn in to his plight.
User Review - 2/10 by Tim SThere's not a whole lot about The Brute Man that makes a whole lot of sense as a plot, but it basically works itself out if you pay close enough attention. I laughed particularly hard at the newspaper intertitles that basically moved the plot along while at the same time stopped it in its tracks with headlines like "Girl Helps Police Find The Creeper!" Of course this movie was made at a time before it became an enormous cliche, particularly in cartoons, but it's still pretty funny by today's standards. There's not a whole lot of good things to say about it. I found it mostly boring, but the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew certainly made it a little more entertaining. Otherwise you're not missing much if you never see it in your entire life.
