Uncommonly good for this kind of film. Has a good deal to say
na	x-human	77	T₆
Good build and tension cinematically but Karloff feels uninspired. There is this sense of suspense for the victims dire situation; a feet rarely accomplished in other films.

An interesting variation on the typical mad doctor plot.
