| Monthly Film BulletinMFB CriticsThe story is well put together and well directed. It provides plenty of macabre thrills without descending to horrific sensationalism. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIf a Karloff fan this is a must see, he gives one of his best performances. Others should be more cautious. |
| User ReviewAj VAlthough the theme of changing brains may be familiar to us now, this movie still entertains, I know I enjoyed it. Karloff plays the mad scientist and he does a good job. Plus there's a romance going on, I love horror movies with a romance in them. If you love old mad scientist movie, you should see this movie, it's cool. |
| User ReviewAnthony MSurely the best 'Mad Scientist' film of Karloff (besides The Man they could not Hang). Karloff was as usually brilliant in the title role as Dr. Laurience. Besides Karloff, Frank Cellier was also excellent as Lord Haslewood, delightful to watch him whenever he is on screen. His brilliant portrayal of multiple characters provides the film with its most enjoyable scenes. However, its takes on the press and the corporate control conveys messages to which we can still relate today. Overall, only a hour long a fantastic treat for Karloff fans. |
| User ReviewJames H63/100. Good Boris Karloff performance makes this a very interesting film with a rather clever plot. The story was certainly original in 1936. Good supporting cast and the mood of the film is commendable. Nice use of lighting creates an effective atmosphere. |
