"We're scientists, not sentimentalists". So says Otto Kruger, joining Karloff, Lugosi, Zucco, Atwill and many others playing God in the form of a mad scientist. Assisting him in his experiments and nefarious schemes is the deformed Rondo Hatton whose enlarged facial features made him the perfect movie monster, and one you truly felt sorry for, especially when Kruger mocks him for his ugliness.
After "Captive Wild Woman" and "Jungle Woman" came this third entry in the short lived series surrounding human experiments gone wrong. It's a typical Universal B movie, exciting in parts and ridiculous in others. Following Acqunetta in the part of the snorting creature is Vicky Lane, pretty much doing nothing but modeling a fur mask and gloves as she goes on the attack until made to look like a real woman. Amelita Ward plays Kruger's lab assistant, giving her blood to the inhuman creature who seems incapable of female emotions.
Jerome Cowan plays an investigator obviously suspicious of Kruger and company, while Phil Brown plays Ward's fiancée, another scientist who suspects nothing of the supposedly noble Kruger. Speeding by in the predictable hour long B running time, this is a fine time filler, with more of the same of most of the 1940's horror films yet giving Rondo Hatton a real diverse character to play that makes him more noble than the "normal" looking Kruger.
