Movie Reviews

Video-Reviewmaster.com - 9/10 by Steve CrumRay Milland in low budget Roger Corman horror-fest.
Creative Loafing - 8/10 by Matt BrunsonThis nifty slice of sci-fi basically plays like Corman's low-rent version of the 1957 classic The Incredible Shrinking Man.
Stream on Demand - 6/10 by Sean AxmakerThe possibilities suggested in the hints of addiction and inconsistent bouts of megalomania remain tantalizingly unexplored in the unfocussed script.... But there is a wicked edge to the B-movie machinations.
Filmcritic.com - 6/10 by Christopher NullA middling and often laughable experience.
Time Out - 6/10 by Geoff AndrewIntelligent sci-fi movie has a powerful performance from Milland.
Chicago Reader - 6/10 by Dave KehrThis queasy 1963 SF parable was directed--quickly and cheaply--by Roger Corman for American-International, drawing some of its strength from its tawdry drive-in overtones.
PopMatters - 6/10 by J.C. Maçek IIIThe bizarre ending has a resonating factor that helps enhance the film's enjoyment quotient.
User Review - 10/10 by Brian R"I've come to tell you what I see. There are great darknesses. Farther than time itself. And beyond the darkness... a light that glows, changes... and in the centre of the universe... the eye that sees us all." A masterpiece from horror maestro Roger Corman. Dr. James Xavier develops eyedrops intended to increase the range of human vision, allowing one to see beyond the "visible" spectrum into the ultraviolet and x-ray wavelengths and beyond. These maverick researchers being what they are, he decides to test the eyedrops on himself. This is a bad idea. My favourite actor Ray Milland plays Xavier as a boffin of the old school - he uses a bunsen burner to light a fag, and he can't help but enjoy the benefits of his enhanced vision when surrounded by dancing girls at a party (they're in the buff you see). But then it all starts to go wrong and he sees too much. So much that he can't comprehend what he's seeing and it drives him mad. It's a brilliant little film and although the 1963 special effects will probably leave many pairs of 21st century eyes quite unimpressed, to me they just add to the immense charm of the piece. A film that will make you very uneasy about using Optrex. SPECTARAMA!
User Review - 10/10 by Brooke MOne could go insane from just the things we see everyday. There is a reason why things are not explained. This movie captures the insanity of the greed for knowledge. The creepiest movie to ever exist.
