This is now my favourite Naschy film of the ones I've seen. Naschy gives an excellent and emotional performance as hunchback who works at a morgue and is in love with a dying girl, when the girl dies and her body is abused , he flies into a rage gruesomely killing them, beheading one and ripping out the intestines of another, on the run he comes to attention of a scientist who says it be helps him in his experiments by finding him body's , he will bring he love to life. Most of not all the victims deserve the bloody and violent ways they are dispatched with how they treat the hunchback. 9/10
A lesser universal horror, for me i found this better than Dracula which I found Lugosi performance on the corny side, but here he gives a chilling performance who with the help of his ape kidnaps young women and experiments on them to prove his theories on evolution. 8/10
