Jun 21, 2020 Interesting concept. Boris Karloff was very good as a "Legit Scientist". Great cast! See more Dec 15, 2018 OK thriller, rather slowly-paced. See more Oct 18, 2016 Are you kidding.... this is a Karloff Klassic for those of us who grew up watching these films on TV in the 50's and 60's !!!!! See more Oct 22, 2012 Great chiller from the old days of B horror films--A welcome new twist on the whole mad scientist genre!! See more Nov 29, 2009 lol it is definitely really good for those times. But lets be honest, Coffee barely wakes me up, yet alone revive me from a frozen preservation. See more Nov 22, 2009 It was very good, and interesting. The actors and actresses were all good, and the look of the film was nice. The story kept me intrigued and I was surprised by parts. See more Read all reviews
