The Verdict

The son of a scientist becomes the victim of his own experiment that turns his head and an arm into those of a fly. Fortunately, a policeman manages to capture the insect that has "acquired" the head and limb of the young man: by locking the two beings in a device, he will return them to normal.

The son of a scientist becomes the victim of his own experiment that turns his head and an arm into those of a fly. Fortunately, a policeman manages to capture the insect that has "acquired" the head and limb of the young man: by locking the two beings in a device, he will return them to normal. Again Vincent Price and again the mysterious (and never named this time) Doctor K. Even in the 1950s, one could not escape the "law of sequels" and so here is a predictable and useless follow-up to the successful 1958 film "The Experiment of Doctor K". The situations are the same, the special effects always good, but it is the suspense that is missing, as one could not expect otherwise since the film almost identically retakes the plot of Neumann's film. The first minutes of the film are then almost "comic" with an awkward Vincent Price who tries, with only the look (hallucinated!), to express the thoughts narrated by the voice-over. Curiosity: strangely, the film is in black and white, unlike the first episode which, although filmed a year earlier, was in color.
