Review of Man Made Monster

If you're the kind of horror buff who likes the kind with graphic violence, then Man Made Monster is not for you. It brought Lon Chaney Jr.-namesake son of his famous father-to the Universal horror fold where his dad had previously made his most successful films. He plays Dan, a man who survives a bus accident that got tangled in electrical wires. I'll stop there and just say this was quite an atmospheric good time with Lionel Atwill as Dr. Rigas-a mad scientist (Is there any other kind in these movies?), leading lady Anne Nagel, and-since I like to cite when players from my favorite movie, It's a Wonderful Life, are in other films-Frank Albertson as Anne's reporter boyfriend with Samuel S. Hinds as Anne's scientist uncle. Also, a dog named Corky! I'll just now say if you like these classic Golden Age thrillers, Man Made Monster should be right up your alley!
