      Audience Member remake of a 1927 silent horror melodrama and well done Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member J. Carrol Naish is a Javan ape transmuted by the Moreau like science of Dr Renault, played by George Zucco. Naturally he falls for Dr Renault's niece and goes on a killing spree. There is an enjoyable finale at a watermill. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Let's just say, it's not much of a secret... The movie is so-so. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Not really a horror film, Dr. Renault's Secrett is an atmospheric murder mystery with a SF/horror element that is unnecessary to most of the plot. Any one of a number of less fantastic premises could have been substituted without making it a much different movie. George Zucco gives the sort of solid performance he contributed to many a horror or mystery movie in his day. The rest of the cast do a good job in their supporting roles. The starring turn is that by J. Carroll Naish, who demonstrates that he truly was in a class with the great Lon Chaney Sr.. Good film. Great performance by Naish !
