Generally speaking, two heads are better than one; not necessarily true, however, when one is talking about two directors on a single movie (as is the case with THE MANSTER). The basic premise, borrowed liberally from H.G. Wells, is handled about as (in)competently as one might expect... by both directors. "Settle down?" the Manster asks his pining wife at one point: "Like mud in a pool!" Zing! Like the luckless protagonist in Henry S. Whitehead's short story THE LIPS, Manny finds extraneous body parts sprouting here and there until he starts shambling about like THE INCREDIBLE TWO-HEADED TRANSPLANT (only not as cool). If ever a movie demanded to be remade, it's this one.
