The Human Monster

In this chilling 1939 British horror film, a sinister scheme unfolds when an insurance agent-physician collects on policies of men brutally murdered by a disfigured resident of the home for the blind where he acts as doctor-on-call. Bela Lugosi stars in the dual role of Dr Orloff and Professor Dearborn, his voice dubbed to conceal his identity, as Scotland Yard's Inspector Holt investigates a series of gruesome killings linked to the charity Home. The film's clever plot and eerie atmosphere make for a thrilling ride, with Lugosi adding much to the sense of foreboding.
