House Of Horrors - 1946 - 6/10
Diverting B-thriller with a solid Noir / Expressionistic look.
Outsider sculptor (failed artist) rescues large man from river.
Inspired by his grotesque features, the artist uses him as model for his Neanderthal piece.
He rants about unappreciative critic, not knowing his new friend is actually a psychotic killer.
Still … no one likes critics, now do they?
At barely an hour, the plot chugs along swiftly. Pleasant 40’s era cheesecake a bonus.
