Viewing Notes

“The West will be destroyed in 14 days. Repeat, 14 days.” This is the underlying mystery that the movie’s story is trying to solve through a dense, hard-to-understand scheme involving creating fake memories in a person who has been cryogenically frozen and had his consciousness wiped. Not only that, the scientists and government officials who revive him bring him back into a staged place and tell him it’s a different time in the past. Like I said, it’s a little confusing to watch unfold, though it does add more mystery to the goings-on.

Directed by William Castle, so you should pretty much know what you’re going to get going in; and featuring prolific character actors Henry Jones and Monte Markham (who we all know best from WE ARE STILL HERE ironically).
