Audience Member Unsettling semi body-horror 50's film led by cinematic icons Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee. The mood and atmosphere is thick while the story will stay with you. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A lot of fun watching two great horror icons together like Boris Karloff and Sir Christopher Lee. I'm so glad The Criterion Collection bothered putting this foursome out in their 'Monsters and Madmen' boxed set. Such a guilty pleasure to behold, in its intriguing period-piece script of a well-meaning doctor trying to discover anesthesia yet getting drug-addicted in the process. Great stuff. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Karloff in top form as he plays a surgeon who gets addicted to strong pain relief in his search to make operations a painless experience Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting film that blends a Jekyll & Hyde type of theme with a Burke & Hare body stealing plot, and ties them together with a medical plot involving the discovery of anesthesia. Boris Karloff stars as a respected surgeon in Victorian London who is committed to finding a way to perform surgery without inflicting pain on his patients. He develops a gas mixture that seems to work, but finds nobody in the medical establishment willing to believe him. He experiments with the formula on himself, and through a mixture of overwork and increasing addiction to the narcotic gas, wanders around London at night with no memory of what happened. He falls in with a criminal gang at an unsavory pub that want to use him to get fake death certificates for the bodies they sell to the hospital. A really classy horror outing that features one of the only pairings of Karloff and Christopher Lee (as the body snatching, murderer Resurrection Joe).
