Over the years this sci-fi horror political thriller mish-mash has aged surprisingly well. Seemingly unnconnected plots, as though three films have been tacked together, actually make it look avant garde in today's MTV cut and paste generation. Vincent gets top billing as the mysterious Dr Browning, but is really quite ineffectual - only popping up at the end for the grisly acid bath scene. Still its visually stunning and now that the new DVD has restored the original soundtrack, including the Amen Corner's eponymous theme tune... it really is one to watch - again and again...

TRIPLE DISTILLED HORROR... as powerful as a vat of boiling ACID!
