Review of The Sorcerers (1967) by Scott R — 15 Aug 2015

I'll have my fun without you.

Professor Montserrat has developed a form of hypnotism that allows him to control people's minds. His wife is also a professional hypnotist and they have contests to see how well they can control people and what terrible things they can make them do. These efforts take a toll on their bodies.

"You enjoyed it, didn't you?".

Michael Reeves, director of She Beast, The Conqueror Worm, and Castle of the Living Dead, delivers The Sorcerers. The storyline for this picture is very mediocre and felt like an excuse to make a Boris Karloff movie at the end of his career. The acting was okay and the cast includes Karloff, Ian Ogilvy, Catherine Lacey, and Elizabeth Ercy.

"He's responding appropriately.".

I came across this on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) and had to DVR this old school horror picture. This was very average and nothing special but I enjoyed watching Karloff in this picture, even if he was older and less of a main character than we're used to seeing. I only recommend seeing this if you're a fan of the genre.

Grade: C-.
