There's much campy, culty fun to be had in director Michael Reeves' second and, as it turned out, penultimate directorial outing before his death, aged 25, from a drug overdose. A terminally ill Boris Karloff stars as the discredited hypnotist who takes over the mind of Ian Ogilvy's disaffected youth. No real scares here (despite the soundtrack's enthusiastic attempts to convince us otherwise), but there's some top-notch psychedelic effects and Catherine Lacey seems to be having a wonderful time as the eventual villain of the piece. A word of warning, however: this film may contain social commentary.
