Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at people who like to watch through their fingers. A good one for a late-night scare.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 26 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1967: an older pace and style.
  • Not one for anyone who hates jump scares.

An aging hypnotist creates a device that allows the user to control the mind of another person, but his wife abuses its power by manipulating a younger man to commit evil acts.
