Why this pick
A paranoid, formally daring descent into hypnosis and coercion, with the same disturbing fascination for minds being commandeered by forces that treat people as instruments.

Another late-1960s British nightmare of fractured identity and mental experimentation, balancing a pulpy premise with a bleak, disorienting psychological atmosphere.

01 / THE STORY
Dr. Marcus Monserrat (Boris Karloff) is an elderly practitioner of medical hypnosis. He lives with his wife Estelle Monserrat (Catherine Lacey). He has invented a device which would allow him to control and feel another person's experience using the power of hypnosis. They decide any youngster will do as their test subject. Dr. Marcus Monserrat selects and invites Mike Roscoe (Ian Ogilvy) to his house, with an offer of a 'new experience'. He uses the device on Mike and the procedure is successful: He and Estelle can feel everything Mike feels, and can also control him.
