Gruesome and Stupid
5 April 2004
Lon Chaney Jr. gets to play a caricature composite of some of his father's great horror role as a vicious criminal brought back to life by mad scientist Robert (Inspector Henderson) Shayne. He's now indestructible but voiceless. The legendary "B"-movie stalwart Max Showalter is on hand to play the doggedly determined cop. And Ross Elliott has a nice supporting turn. But, this is pure trash. Gruesome enough to be disgusting, but not horror enough to scare, poorly acted, directed and written, this never should have been released. Chaney, just four years after an excellent supporting role in High Noon, had to have been embarrassed beyond words to need a paycheck so badly to do this awful mess. I guess that's why his character had to be mute.
