Review of The Sorcerers (1967) by His L — 27 Jan 2008

Surprisingly bleak picture about an older couple who gain mental control over a younger man who must unwittingly obey their thoughts and desires, all so the elder couple can experience youth once again.

First it begins innocently enough, with the couple having do athletic activities they are no longer capable of, then even the act of lovemaking, but then it goes too far... to the point of murder. Boris Karloff wants it to stop, but his wife is addicted and won't let it end.

Truly depressing and downbeat film, with a very grim ending, but that's a refreshing tone to the proceedings. Admittedly, it is cheesy and ludicrous material, but it's handled with maturity and seriousness.

Recommended.
