Michael F While entirely unrealistic in today's world, if you come into this with an open mind it is a brilliant comedy. The acting is brilliant and in particular, I really enjoyed the performance by the professor's assistant, who had me fully convinced that he was stealing a dead body from the university morgue! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review Audience Member a fun daffy comedy with sci-fi undertones. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
