"A brilliant surgeon saves the life of a beautiful dancer but goes mad when he can’t have her. A great classic horror which was highly controversial at the time of its release due to its dealings with elements such as sexual obsession and bodily deformities. Bela Lugosi is quite haunting as the mad doctor who has a genuine love for torturing people, while the whole final sequence is quite suspenseful."
