Done in a psuedo dragnet documentary style, this very low budget little anti-masterpiece is fast, campy, fun. It's never as bad as Ed Wood's films, but it's a gem.
Lon Chaney Jr. Plays the Butcher a convicted killer, who is put to death by the electric chair. BUT NO.... HE'S NOT DEAD...he's just p***** off now and it's time to get revenge on the low life ex-gangster friends of his who helped set him up.
In a way I look at Chaney and this film as the original Terminator.
Besides the film's campy charms and numerous close-ups of Chaney's worn, fleshy face the film boasts some interesting location work showing an area of Los Angeles complete with cable cars, called Angel's Flight levelled in the late 50's in a down-town revitalization project.
I know some others have rated this low... I don't know what they were expecting--this is a gem of it's genre.
