Kind of a miracle of plotting if you stop to think about it, as Corman establishes the gimmick pretty early on and then runs that idea through every conceivable situation in barely under 80 minutes. This almost feels like AIP's response to the nudie boom, taking a plot…

Roger Corman deserves more recognition for his wonderful abilities as a director.

Truly mind-expanding in its own button-down way. The unusual pace is set right in the opening, an eerie shot of a disembodied eyeball - no credits, no production logo, just an eyeball. There's more than just trippy imagery and cheap thrills here, though - the themes are…

It's so stupid that I've wasted my time watching horseshit when there are Corman films from the 60s I still haven't seen. I could've watched this like three times instead of watching Doctor Sleep. Don Rickles makes for a great villain. He should've been a villain in more…

A-Z Effedupmovies (X) This was fairly decent, I don’t think it did anything amazing as it doesn’t really go its subjects deeply or anything bad but was a good time for the most part. The ending was a little lacklustre but kept in theme but that car ride dragged like…

Only Roger Corman could churn out a schlocky science fictioner in three weeks and also have it be a compelling mad scientist drama that you can get high to. Trippy! Happy 98th birthday to the man, the myth, the legend! 👑🎂

Deliciously nonsensical Sci-fi schlock, with a healthy amount of Don Rickles to help elevate its b-movie trappings. You don’t know cinema until you’ve seen a middle-aged Ray Milland light a cigarette with a Bunsen burner.
