Viewing Notes
After the company Halloween party I rushed down the Patio Theater for the 50s sci-fi double feature presented in 35mm by Northwest Chicago Film Society. Arrived just in time! This bizarre little film is a precursor to the brilliant TV series The Prisoner. Plays many similar notes with a couple of guys that end up in an isolated village where strange experiments are happening.
Not a great movie but certainly interesting with some crazy evil children. Not sure of the availability of this one so I’m glad to have seen it in theater and 35mm no less.
