The Brute Man (1946)

Not  A Bad  Thriller 


This film is not all that bad - it's certainly better than it's rating. Why this film is rated so badly I'll never know. I'll admit there are better dramatic thrillers of the 1940s but this one deserves a better rating than it's getting.

Rondo Hatton plays Hal Moffat AKA 'The Creeper' - he's well suited for this role. The only thing I wish is that they had maybe scared or disfigured his real face more - because that is what is suppose to have happened to Hal (had his face disfigured).

Jane Adams is Helen Paige - and she's good. I really enjoyed her in this film as well as House of Dracula (1945).

This one is a good watch. It's not a "must see" film but it is a film that is enjoyable for certain audiences.

6.5/10
