The She-Creature (1956) starring Chester Morris, Tom Conway
Product Description
The lovely assistant of a mysterious and evil hypnotist has no idea that she is the descendant of a horrifying prehistoric sea monster, which she reverts into when she is mesmerized by her boss. When the monster comes forth, she goes on a killing spree.
A promoter learns about the hypnotist’s shenanigans and figures a way to cash in on the death and destruction. Meanwhile, each time the assistant is hypnotized and the monster emerges, she is able to better control it until, at last, the monster turns on its creator.
