Editorial Review:
The spooky laboratory of Dr. Charles Conway (horror legend John Carradine) holds monstrous secrets in this delirious drive-in favorite from the golden age of creature features! Experiments with human glands have produced a number of hideous mutants in his foreboding house on a hill, but that doesn't stop the good doctor from going back to the table with the aid of passing visitors eager for his medical services. Along with hulking henchman Lobo ("Plan 9 from Outer Space's" Tor Johnson), Dr. Conway sets his sights on an undercover cop determined to end this parade of monsters and madness. Featuring the delectable Allison Hayes (Attack of the 50 Foot Woman), this mad mix of gothic thrills and sci-fi chills now looks better than ever in this dazzling new transfer from the original negative, presented here for your ghoulish enjoyment!

Rating:  - Lost movie?
I still have not receieved this movie. Is there a problem?
Out of all the movies(41)I have ordered this and Knockoutmovies (Lisa) are the only two that I have had a problem with.
Rating:  - Needs more Tor
John Carradine plays Dr. Conway, a vague sort of psychologist who also happens to be a mad scientist in his spare time. He gets patients referred to him who have no relatives so they won't be missed when he experiments on them. He is attempting to find the secret to eternal youth. He has constructed a new gland, which he surgically inserts into his patients. Naturally the results are horrific, but in his mind, that's the price you pay for advancing science. The police plant a man undercover in the ... Read More
Rating: - Not So Much Badly Made As It Is Utterly Uninteresting
Dr. Conway (John Carradine) runs a strange medical home in a decayed and isolated mansion. How strange is it? Well, it's so strange that Lobo (Tor Johnson) works there.
Ed Wood occasionally receives a writing credit for this bit of 1957 drive-in dreck; in truth his only contribution to the film is the character Lobo, which is lifted directly from Wood's 1955 BRIDE OF THE MONSTER. Even so THE UNEARTHLY, scripted by John Black and Jane Mann, is certainly bad enough to be an Ed Wood movie. ... Read More
Rating:  - Slim but stunning DVD of entertaining Mad Doctor opus
No, The Unearthly is not a Great Movie by any stretch, but it's always been one of my favorite 1950s horror cheapies for a number of reasons. Chief among them, of course, is drop-dead-gorgeous Allison Hayes as heroine Grace Thomas, here playing in sweet, vulnerable mode, in contrast to her archetypal `bad girl' performances as The 50-Foot Woman, Tonda Metz in The Disembodied, and Livia the sorceress in Roger Corman's The Undead. Also on hand are Tor Johnson in his second appearance as pinheaded brute "Lobo" ... Read More
Rating: - A blast from the past...
I saw this as a kid and never forgot it. So when I found it available on DVD I fell all over myself getting it. And I wasn't disappointed at all. I love it and I recommend it to lovers of low-budget b&w 50's horror. Mad doctor John Carradine runs a secluded "private sanitarium" where patients check in but they don't check out. He's conducting glandular experiments with his patients turning into deformed mutants that end up in the basement. Voluptuous Allison Hayes is his newest patient and potential victim. ... Read More
