Noel L Dec 1 Slightly dated, but the film still does a good job of keeping you on your toes See more Daniel C. M Dec 22 A B movie that manages to actually and unironically be really good rather than the standard "so bad it's good. Though it certainly could have benefitted itself from a longer runtime; the few there is in the movie is executed perfectly, both by fine acting from the star Ray Milland and the script which manages to focus and touches on all the essential points that a Sci-fi pulp should, and does so perfectly. See more Nicholas B 10/30/2024 Definitely has it's moments. Ultimately it's an oddly haunting piece. It's B movie trappings lend the film both favourable and detracting elements, and Ray Milland is dependable as usual. Loved the ending, especially the dialogue. Not exactly a classic but certainly not a waste of time. See more Dave S 07/06/2024 Outside of a couple of his Poe adaptations, X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes is probably Roger Corman’s best movie. After developing a medication to enhance the abilities of the human eye, Dr. Xavier (Ray Milland) decides to test the substance on himself. Before you know it, he’s seeing through the clothes of women at parties and, more importantly, helping to cure the ill. Once you get past the hokey title and some pretty shaky visual effects, it’s actually a surprisingly impactful movie as the good doctor, strutting about with some sort of Jesus complex, eventually finds himself on the run from those who are intent on persecuting him. Milland gives a standout performance throughout, as does Don Rickles in a small supporting role, and the production values are remarkably decent when considering the low budget that Corman was probably working with. See more Aldo G 06/10/2024 When it was released (I was five years old), my mother and I walked in at the conclusion of the movie. I was horrified. Today, the film is less horrific, but a testament to the good work of writer/director Roger Corman. See more Thom G 06/06/2024 The Man with the X-Rays is an outstanding low-budget sci-fi/horror film. It revolves around a fascinating problem, both scientifically and philosophically, which is compellingly developed throughout the film, provoking reflection. The film is engaging and Ray Milland's remarkable performance adds significant depth to his character, allowing the viewer to relate to his problems, choices, and obsessions. "I've come to tell you what I see..." Damn, what a memorable scene! See more Read all reviews
