Bride of the Monster 1955, directed by Edward D. Wood Jr, staring Bela Lugosi, Tor Johnson, Tony McCoy, Loretta King, Harvey B. Dunn, George Becwar and others.
Horror Science-Fiction about a mad doctor (or missunderstood genius), Dr. Eric Vornoff, who is conducting experiments to turn people into super-beings through the use of atomic power. A female reporter decides to look into what is going there and its possible connection to men that have disappeared in the area. An octopus is also involved in the plot somehow.
Knowing that it's far from a masterpiece, I wanted to see for myself how awful it actually is. It is without doubt an awfull movie, but I have seen more expensive blown-up pretentious movies that actually have been much worse to sit through. One just looks at this one with a certain amazement. The low budget shines through, with wobbling sets. Lugosi, who is the only real actor around, is at his hammiest. Worth seeing at least once.
Historically this was the only movie that Edward D. Wood Jr made that made a profit when he was still alive, the profits though went into the pockets of it's distributer Samuel Z. Arkoff, who with the money was able to set up American International Productions.
This was Bela Lugosi's last movie with a speaking part, he appeared in a mute role in The Black Sleep 1956. His part in Plan 9 from Outer Space 1959 was pre-filmed silent material.
