Based on a scenario by Toho actor Hideo Unagami, this Ishiro Honda classic blends sci-fi, horror and noir to spooky and thrilling effect. The H-Man of the title is a creature formed of radioactive goo that is driven to liquefy humans—and can only be vanquished by electrifying or incinerating it to vapor. The film’s science may be dodgy but the tense climatic chase through underground sewers, with H-Men lurking about, is a Honda career highlight.
