This wasn’t the intended feature of the day, but I ran out of time. I needed a quickie and at an hour this fit the bill. Besides, I’ve been meaning to see it. I watched it once as a kid and always wanted to watch it again. Kept confusing it with The Indestructible Man.

In a nutshell, this is EVERY FIFITIES SCI FI MOVIE (even though it came out in the forties). A mad scientist gets a hold of a carny who has an immunity to electricity and turns him into a monster. The usual brouhaha ensues. It is marginally better than most due to the acting and the tightness of the plot. Lon Chaney Jr. does his thing here, but he could have been playing any one of a dozen monsters. It’s unusual in that the female lead tries to save the monster instead of being threatened by him.

I liked it, but I have no taste.

My problem is that on finishing it I got the urge to go ON AND ON about it. As I’m supposed to be doing shorts, this might be a problem. I’m going to try to write a long form out of it tomorrow (it’s only an hour, how hard can it be?). However this has to be considered a stumble in my goals. How bad of one… remains to be seen.

3/31 done. Let’s hope the number grows tomorrow.
