    Storyline

    Edit
    Near Aix-les-Bains (South-East of France), two women, Kassia and Leonora, are driven by a fanatical blackmailer, named André, in a white Rolls Royce at full speed. Suddenly, they stop near a lake, in the middle of the woods, where the man decides to have a swim. He asks the two women for a drink. The women plan to assassinate him by introducing a deadly leaf from a Thanatos tree in the cocktail. The man dies by poisoning and drowning and the women stare at him without moving. They put the dead body in the trunk of the fancy car. Later, they've lost their way in the countryside and, finally, find a mansion where an old blind man, Colas, opens the door. Upstairs, a strange inventor, Tone Hobart, built a time machine which could resurrect the dead. Unfortunately, André is now alive and ready for a revenge. —Thomas Rucki (filigrane@hotmail.com)

    • Trivia
      This was filmed as a pilot for a new Joseph Stefano series. When it didn't sell, it was partially re-shot (adding fantasy elements) and shown as an episode of his sci-fi anthology series The Outer Limits (1963) entitled The Forms of Things Unknown (1964). Both versions exist.

    Good
    It was interesting watching this alternate version of "Forms Of Things Unknown", from the original Outer Limits TV series. Although this is not as satisfying as the familiar version, Scott Marlowe is able to expand his role as the evil Andre, and David McCallum's imbalanced character makes more sense.
