Rather better than average.

A moderately amusing thriller with a comic edge. The (little known) director often uses distorted camera angles to portray the hero's slow "degeneration into a state of madness" (that's how he describes his condition at one point) and the script is clever enough to keep you guessing and wondering whether Malcolm McDowell (in a great performance that gives class to the production) is simply having "vivid" hallucinations or is driven to insanity by someone else. There are some impressively shot scenes in this movie, but it is marred by an inconclusive ending, which doesn't fully resolve the plot. (**)

Bad

What can you say about a film in which you can hear the director call "Cut"? This should give one a taste for how the film is put together. The editing is off. The sound is off (notice the foley work that does not match the actions on screen). The work is like a working print, rather than a polished film.

Whoever says this movie is horrible...

obviously doesn't understand about mind-trip movies. This movie was completely awesome and the suspense and visual mastery of this movie is superb. A 6 thumbs up!!! (me and 2 of my friends.) Watch this movie...watch it lots...

Fun trash

Don't be fooled-- this is absolutely B-level schlock and I do not argue that this is some lost masterpiece. But I cannot deny it has a campy vibe that makes the whole thing fun, so long as you aren't expecting the psychological thriller promised by descriptions of the plot. Malcolm McDowell hams it up and the plot veers into bizarre territory. Not everyone will like it, but if you enjoy oddball cult fare and dark comedy, you might enjoy this.

Trivia
When Emerson Bixby began scripting, he originally envisioned Geoffrey Lewis as Dr. Russell. Malcolm McDowell ended up playing Dr. Russell, and Lewis was cast as Michael. Bixby had never mentioned writing a character for Lewis, whose subsequent casting was a coincidence.
