This is a ridiculous yarn about a doctor who seeks to cure paralysis with human spinal fluid. Why do all these old horror flicks have characters who need human spinal fluid to stay young/cure disease/remain human, etc.? I've never understood how human spinal fluid was thought to accomplish these things. This movie is slow and the idea that Karloff would be able to gut out a gorilla, turn it into a costume and make people believe a gorilla on the loose was responsible for a series of killings is unbelievable, unless you take into account the fact that no gorilla appears anywhere in this cheapie, just a man in a gorilla suit. SO, I guess it would be possible to kill the man in the suit and take him out of it. Only watch this flick if you love crapcinema, Karloff, or movies about men in gorilla outfits killing to collect a supply of human spinal fluid.
