This use to be, hard to find, bit of Psychotronic Cinema has finally been released in an excellent transfer and Baby Boomers and modern fans of off-beat, exploitive, gimmick-ridden, bizarre, cultural phenomena, and just good old fashion B-Movies can get in on the "eye" popping fun.
It is guaranteed that if you see the first few minutes there is no turning back. With its gruesome opening and creative camera shots it will trans-disfigure you for the next 80 minutes or so.
After all, this one is full of treats for Dive-In Movie lovers. There are some good makeup effects, a beatnik scene, some Noirish Photography, sexual innuendos, and more. With a nod to Director/Huckster William Castle and a marketing-persuasion to suggest to the zombified TV viewers to leave their "living" rooms for the Theaters.
This fun-fest has one thing or two that keeps it from reaching the best of the best, the very long audience hypno scene for one. But who cares, the rest of this is so entertainingly enticing that most viewers are helplessly seduced by this little seen Movie.
In the ads, and also on screen, there was a very strong WARNING to not try Hypnosis at home. For a bit of equally hokey irony, they could have added...Not for the impressionable (the target audience).
