Man-Made Monster1941
“The most amazing monster the world has ever known.”
Directed by George Waggner
The premise
Mad scientist turns a man into an electrically-controlled monster to do his bidding.
Horror Vault's take
When a carnival performer survives a freak electrical accident, he catches the attention of a brilliant but morally bankrupt scientist who sees in him the perfect subject for a chilling experiment. What begins as seemingly benign research slowly reveals a far darker agenda — one that strips a man of his very will. Lon Chaney Jr. brings tragic physicality to a figure transformed by greed and ambition into something barely human. This lean Universal programmer crackles with mad-science menace and a surprisingly poignant undercurrent.
