Review of Man Beast

Man Beast (1956)
7/10
One of Jerry Warren's few good movies

Some might say his only good movie though some are bad In a fun way. This is a decent mid 50s sci fi/horror movie on a small budget with a good twist to it.

Being better aquainted with Warren's later work, I expected something as unwatchable as Invasion of the Amimal People. That is difficult to sit through. I feel like a better print of that would make it even worse.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to people who aren't a fan of the genre but for mid 50s on a small budget, this isn't half bad. Typically Warren would build stories around cheap stock footage he bought, film some extra scenes and that's the movie. Looks as though he did it here too with some mountain climbing footage. Most directors would only pad a film with stock footage or use some feet of it to add to a script that already existed without it.

If you do try watching Man Beast and don't like the genre, at least it's short.
