"Charles Benton is alive and even bullets can't stop him!"
1 May 2017
Minor sci-fi horror flick about an executed murderer (Lon Chaney, Jr.) brought back to life by a scientist (Robert "Inspector Henderson" Shayne). Chaney seeks revenge on his crooked lawyer and former partners, never speaking but stopping quite a few times to squint very hard for close-ups. An entertaining enough movie of its type, but even by 1956 this was pretty old hat. Max Showalter (billed as Casey Adams) plays the cop investigating it all. He also provides the distracting narration throughout the picture. Like I said, it's nothing special. But it'll get the job done for the undiscriminating fan of classic horror and sci-fi. It's certainly no Man Made Monster, that's for sure.
