The Man and the Monster (Spanish: El hombre y el monstruo) is a 1958 Mexican horror film, directed by Rafael Baledón.

Plot summary

[edit]

The film is about a pianist who sells his soul to the Devil in order to become the greatest pianist over the world.[1] But, every time a particular piece of music is played by him -Piano Concerto No. 1 (Tchaikovsky)- , he transforms into a murderous monster.[1]

Reception

[edit]

According to the website Classic-Horror:

"Intelligently dubbed (it looks like they hired a translator AND a screenwriter), marvelously acted, and nicely directed, there's not a lot The Man and the Monster isn't, except, perhaps, expensive."[2]
