The horror part of this one is quite good (even though the camera doesn't get out of the house much). Unfortunately we have to put up with the pratfalling shtickiness of the protagonist. Fay is beauteous throughout (somewhat resembling Maureen O'Sullivan). And give my regards to the art director/DP, for some great sets and that overall cool 2-tone look. An especial highlight was the transformation of an unrecognizably young Preston Foster into the monster toward the end ("Syn-thetic flesh!...").

A good example of why 90% of the horror films of this era that anyone remembers are the Universal ones

The failed comedy can't take away from the kitchen sink approach for this horror film. The 2-strip technicolor is enthralling with the lurid mix of underlying sex and violence oozing out of every frame. Highly recommended.

Fascinating, German-inspired, overblown and generally enjoyable horror mystery
