Man Made Monster (1941)

After he survives a bus accident in which everyone else was electrocuted by a power line, a man (Lon Chaney Jr.) is invited by a famous scientist (Samuel S. Hinds) to recuperate at his home. But the scientist's mentally unstable partner (Lionel Atwill) has other plans for Chaney Jr. This rather hokey "B" horror flick from the Universal factory is barely an hour long but it seems to go on much longer. Although it's directed by George Waggner who directed Chaney in the classic THE WOLF MAN, this is a predictable rather dreary entry in the Universal monster catalog. For such a renowned scientist, Hinds' character seem rather naive. When Atwill, practically frothing at the mouth, starts spouting Nazi gibberish about a super race of strong physical specimens being controlled by a superior intellectual race, surely that's a tip off that he's a "mad" scientist but Hinds just lets it pass. With Frank Albertson (PSYCHO), Anne Nagel and Russell Hicks.
