Interesting little whodunit
8 October 2004
Warning: Spoilers
(possible spoilers) If you're looking for a lot of Lionel Atwill, you will be disappointed as he only has a few scenes playing the most obviously named red-herring in film history, Dr. Fish. However, if you're looking for a good little suspenser, this is a solid b-movie from Universal. The cast is generally good, only Patrick Knowles comes off as too brash and pompous as the hero. It's hard to root for him as his charm is very thin and his arrogance fat. It is nicely paced and directed. The best part about the film is Dr. Rx himself - a madman vigilante killer with an evilly raspy voice and a gorilla for a sidekick. It's a fun time-passer and one of the better horror/mysteries from Universal.
