Pretty bad PRC cheapie which I rarely bother to watch over again, and it's no wonder -- it's slow and creaky and dull as a butter knife. Mad doctor George Zucco is at it again, this time turning a dimwitted farmhand in overalls (Glenn Strange) into a poor man's wolf-man. Unfortunately, his makeup is virtually non-existent, consisting only of a fluffy wig, beard, and dimestore fangs for the most part. If it were not for Zucco and Strange's presence, along with the cute Anne Nagel, this would be completely unwatchable. Strange, who would go on to play Frankenstein's monster for Universal Studios in two years, does a Lennyesque impression from "Of Mice and Men", it seems. Really tired. *1/2 out of ****
