A soldier from World War 2 is bitten by a strange ape-like monster in the jungle.
A few years after the war he is found living in a church and teaching second grade children. He yearns for his old love and wants to see her again, but she thinks he is dead and he leaves it that way.
It is discovered that when he drinks alcohol he transforms into a hideous monster with sharp claws that kills anything that gets in his way. The man is then exploited by another on what appears to be a carnival show.
This is a very odd film and one that has been almost forgotten in time. The performances are very good and the creature make-up isn't too shabby either. It's also a detective story as well as a love story about a man who lost everything in the war and knows he will never get it back.
I recommend you check this one out for something very different. I couldn't find much on this movie online, but take my word for it...it's worth seeing.
