Description
A brilliant scientist (Al "David" Hedison) becomes obsessed with perfecting a device that can transmit matter from one location to another. Successful in his initial tests, he decides to experiment using a human being¿himself. But an ordinary house fly also makes the journey with him, and when they emerge at the other end, both creatures have been terribly changed. This is the chilling story of a man fighting to retain his humanity, and a desperate woman's attempt to save the man she loves. Vincent Price and Patricia Owens co-star.

A dashing scientist's foolhardy experiment with matter transference leads his wife to seriously consider investing in No-pest strips in this deservedly classic melding of the horror, sci-fi, and mystery genres. The marvelous Vincent Price (as the good guy for a change!) leads an admirably straight-faced cast through this taut tale of man intruding on God's domain, presented in reverse flashback order. (Somewhat surprisingly, paid-by-the-pound novelist James Clavell was responsible for the atypically lean screenplay.) This well-paced, blackly humorous yarn can't hold a muck-encrusted candle to director David Cronenberg's ultra-visceral 1986 reimagining, but still contains some remarkably daring imagery for the time period. Squirmy, shuddery fun that still carries an icky jolt, particularly during its justifiably famous final scene. --Andrew Wright
