With a box office flop and little lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at armchair detectives and anyone who enjoys a good scare. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Liked The Fly or Clayface? This is a good next one.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Tense from early on, at 1 hr 13 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1959: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
An American journalist stationed in Japan is given a mysterious injection by a mad scientist, turning him into a murderous, two-headed monster.
