Journey through Hell: Atom Age Vampire (1963)

Ok this already loses a rating point for one big reason; despite what the US says there is no fucking vampires!

Ok this one deals with a dancer who gets into a car accident which leads her disfigured. A rogue scientist finds out and uses her for experiment. But the treatment is temporary and the scientist who has becomes obsessed with her, takes to killing in order to keep her beautiful.

This should of worked. The story was halfway decent, it had a noirish plot meshed with a sci fi monster story, and the scientist was awfully demented going as far as to knock off his jealous assistant after seducing her; he was one stone cold pimp.

However, the dubbing was awful, which lead to overacted line readings, the meshing didn't really work and it was admittedly a little boring and long. At 87 minutes it didn't move along like it should have. Shame since I started on a high note with Carnival of Souls. 2 down 48 to go.

Rating: Meh

Until next time, fly high and fly well.
