This is hilarious. Bela Lugosi once again assumes the role as the megalomaniac scientist. This time determined to create a race of atomic superhumans from his astonishingly well equipped forest cabin in the middle of nowhere so he can rule the world. After a while, the locals cotton on after spottin ... g his "monsters" in the woods and a journalist and her cop fiancé are soon hot on his trail. Tor Johnson steals this as the monosyllabic "Lobo" - his sidekick; and there has to be special mention to the daftest looking rubber octopus ever to grace the screen. To be fair, I saw a colourised version (an act of sacrilege in itself) which I think accentuated all the negatives in what might have been a passable b&w effort, but in colour it just looked ridiculous.
