Viewing Notes
I beginning to wonder if Terence Fisher directed any films outside of Hammer Productions. This is a cool flick takes another spin on the modern prometheus concept with a scientist intent of preserving and extending life including his own. This movie could use a restoration and new release. The audio mix on this DVD is awful. Love seeing a young Christopher Lee giving weight to his scenes.
