Negative Positive
Title: Schlocky Fifties horror at its "best".
Review: Let's face it, this is not a good film. But it is undeniably fun, due to the outrageous situations, ripe dialog, and at least one good acting performance. As the lecherous and totally rotten mad scientist, Donald Murphy is very effective, and it is surprising that he was not in more films. And as the sincere elderly scientist, Felix Locher is terrible, but enthusiastic. Director Richard Cunha injects a few nice touches here and there, but you have to look closely to catch them. And did anyone on Earth ever watch a film like this in the hope of hearing and seeing two crummy rock-&-roll numbers performed? The most amusing moments are Dr. Frank's instant "explanations" to conceal the fact that he has built a monster in the basement, and that it is now walking around the neighborhood. (The one about a lost puppy is priceless.) Worth a look for horror fans.
