Review of Terror Is a Man (1959) by Brad G — 26 Aug 2012
I don't know if terror is a man or a cat man, but I do know that this movie is boooooooring. A wannabe adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau, the only thing really noteworthy about this flick is its attempt at William Castle-like showmanship with its turnaway bell & raw surgical meat splicing.
..and according to the excellent documentary Machete Maidens Unleashed, Terror is a Man is the birth of the Philippines exploitation movement. Cool. Sure. But such notes not a good movie make, and when all is said and done this is just a snoozefest with a couple of bright Cat Mummy moments.
