Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

AaronCapenBanner Rondo Hatten plays the Creeper, who in this film is a notorious serial killer of women, breaking their backs with his huge hands and body. He is found nearly drowned in the river by frustrated artist/sculptor Marcel De Lange(played by Martin Kosleck) who takes him home, and they become friends(of a sort). Marcel tells the creeper about how much he hates the art critics who have trashed his work in their columns, so he takes this as a hint to murder them, as well as the occasional poor woman walking down the street... Exploitive of Rondo Hatton's unfortunate condition, film is also quite shallow, since no background or reasons for the murderous behavior is offered at all. Some good acting here(even Hatton isn't bad) but too one-dimensional.(though at least Marcel is nice to his cat!)

dbdumonteil More than "the creeper" himself ,the real monster is Marcel (a sculptor with a French name meaning "from the angel"!)Martin Kosleck is actually the stand out with his piercing eyes,his banal look and his aspiration for glory ;at the beginning he seems a nice guy feeding his pet cat and coming to a man's rescue.But further acquaintance shows this :he gradually goes nuts and the statue becomes a transparent metaphor for the monster he is creating (a Frankensteinesque relationship,which the ending confirms).This is also a fierce attack on art critics "who judge works but do not know they are judged by them "(Jean Cocteau),a subject which "theatre of blood" will resume in the seventies.

xnet95 I watched "Pearl of Death" and "The Brute Man", and I was really looking forward to "House of Horrors" because the first two movies were so enjoyable. Well...all I can say is "what a letdown!". I absolutely loved the parts of the movie that the sculptor and The Creeper were in, but the parts they weren't in sucked so bad that they ruined the whole movie. I'm totally serious. First, we have the most annoying woman I've ever seen on screen. Her name is Virginia Grey and she plays the character, Joan Medford. This woman constantly is spewing snappy, clever, horrendously annoying witticisms out of her hole. It's like she's not even human. I can't believe people ever acted like this, not even in the 1940's. I kept wanting the The Creeper to grab her and give her a big bunny hug that would make her spine snap so loud they'd hear in Frisco, but I knew that would never happen because she was too important. I don't know if the director forced her to act like this or what, but I could NEVER watch this movie again because of this stupid ____.Second, we have Medford's boyfriend, Steven Morrow. He's almost as bad as his sweetie, but he actually acts like a human a few times. The big problem is when he is with Medford because they both try to out duel each other with the clever quips - absolutely nauseating!Last, but not least is Bill Goodwin as Lt. Larry Brooks. He's full of wise-cracks and stupidity, but thankfully he has less screen time than Medford and Morrow. This guy is an unlikable loser, but as soon as he walks into Morrow's studio where a beautiful model is being painted, he manages to worm his way into her heart. This is sooooo unbelievable that it's sickening. There is no way any woman would like this nobody, especially not a gorgeous model!If you have the ability to edit, take this movie and remove any scene without The Creeper or the sculptor. Trust me, you won't miss anything, and you will enjoy this flick about a billion times more.Long live Rondo Hatton!!! To all of you apologists out there that like to smugly write about how poor, poor Rondo was exploited - you sicken me! Rondo Hatton was a citizen of the USA. If Rondo Hatton was exploited and he hated it, then why did he CHOOSE to act in these films? If there is a record of him saying that he felt exploited, then he only has himself to blame. I humbly request that the next reviewer that wants to write about Hatton being exploited, please include some quotes and or a link to your source for this opinion. Until I see some concrete proof that Rondo Hatton felt exploited, I will continue to enjoy the films of this man who brought so much joy into all our lives. Long live Rondo Hatton!!!

VicCasey Rondo Hatton is my hero. Who cares if he wasn't a classically trained actor?! As The Creeper he tugs the heart-strings like a pro! He's got heart! He's got soul! He's got courage! He's also damned likable! Rondo is also one hell of a hero. Rondo took the crummy hand that fate dealt him and played it magnificently. He became one of the most endearing and cool anti-heroes of all B-moviedom! To experience Rondo as The Creeper is to experience pure magic! I watched horror movies as kid and always loved "the monster". A good "monster" gets my vote every damn time. The Creeper fits that bill perfectly and better than most. The Creeper is one of my all time favorite fright flick anti-heroes. GOD BLESS YOU RONDO HATTON!
