Review of The Brute Man (1946) by Aj V — 23 Sep 2010
"You never can tell what a man will do when his mind's affected." Actor Rondo Hatton is a Dick Tracy villain come to life. Acromegaly (a disorder of the pituitary gland) transformed him into one of the most memorable character actors of 30s and 40s B movies.
The Brute Man is one of the earliest serial killer flicks, depicting Hatton's Creeper as he stalks and murders his way through several college alumni. It's a whirlwind flick, running just under an hour, but you won't be able to tear your eyes away whenever Hatton's on screen.
