Though it's predictable, I'm actually very impressed with how cleaver the film was, especially for the time period the movie was made in.
A crappy movie for the great Bela Lugosi of Dracula fame, who probably did this movie for the paycheck, or because of Dracula, got type cast to be nothing else but the monster.
Lugosi plays a doctor who does an unethical experiment on himself that transforms him into an Ape-Man, and now he's willing to go on a murderous spree to fix what he messed up.
The movie is set up for an ensemble cast, unfortunately I only know Lugosi. Maybe the other cast of characters were played by famous or well known actors but only Lugosi stood the test of time.
But it would explain the different sub plots of the movie: A reporter looking for a scoop and his camera woman looking for a break. The police men the movie spends a lot of time allowing to solve the case, and the strange man who just happens to be lurking around the house for no real reason.
Lugosi's make up reminds me of the movie Teen wolf and because I saw that movie first, I kept getting a wolf-man vibe as Lugosi tries to walk like an ape.
The movie is very humorless to watch. I definitely recommend giving it a shot.
