The Human Monster aka The Dark Eyes of London is a rather creepy little chiller with Bella Lugosi playing two roles in this.
Bela plays Dr Orloff as well as the manager of a blind peoples' home, where he dresses up as one of the residents and pretends to be blind. Its Dr Orloff who is killing people in London and he uses a disfigured man to do killings too. After trying to kill a young woman, the police eventually catch up with Orloff.
This movie is quite atmospheric and creepy but a little slow moving in parts.
Apart from Bela, the cast is mostly made up of unknowns including Hugh Williams.
If you are a fan of these kind of movies, you will enjoy this one.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
