Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe eerie pulsating sound heard at around 45 minutes is the same as the sound heard in the derelict space station in Lost In Space.
- GoofsIn the first scene at the lab, when Dr. Krisner is escaping with the files, he stops briefly in the doorway where other staff are sitting. He has a large and obvious moustache. He then runs out of the building with the files, and by the time he reaches a tree several hundred yards from the building, he is clean-shaven. The man with the moustache is a different person playing the part.

T.V. Announcer: This just in! The National Environmental Control Center reports that Dr. Roland, authority on the human brain, was electrocuted along with six others when a patient broke from a experimental therapy area, ripped through a protected panel and exposed himself and the other victims to 500,000 volts of electricity! Along with Dr. Roth; the dead include his two assistants, Dr. Carol Portland, Dr. Elton Morris, three other patients, and Willard West. A patient who apparently went berserk during a routine experiment, shouting; "I can't die, I'm immortal! I am god!" This is Cornell Wood. That's tonights late news! Good night!
We got this under the name "Mind Warp," and decided to get it only because it looked like it could be okay. (Well, why else would we rent it?!) The story is pretty basic. Two doctors stick four people in an underground lab and start doing mental tests on them with these Star Trek computers. (Spare the constant "beep-beep...beep-beep" from the TV show.)
Nothing really happens. The film's first twenty minutes is about an escapee from the lab who has a file showing all that goes on. Apparently, these tests are pretty much illegal. He eventually gets caught and killed off. Then the four people (a war veteran, a priest, a girl, and some other guy) are tested on. It's all really boring until finally they all start going mad and either killing themselves, or each other, until the abrupt and pretty unsatisfying ending.
I say...avoid this. Really. It isn't very good at all. I found it in the horror section, and hopefully if you do, too, you will just pass it by. It has nothing to offer.
