Session: Cheap Thrills! (Week 3)
Movie: Return of the Ape Man (1944)
Directed by Philip Rosen
Two scientists bring a frozen cavemen back to life, but they have very different ideas about what to do with him. Horror ensues.
Reaction and Other Folderol:
The whole thing is kind of a good idea. In some ways it bears a strong resemblance to the Frankenstein story, with the ape man and his manufactured intelligence standing in for the monster. Bela Lugosi and John Carradine make an interesting team; Lugosi is always good. But the movie, enjoyable as it is to watch, is just not memorable.
