The power of hypnotism provides the basis of this film that was released in Hypnovision (yet another promotional gimmick) A budding and frustrated mystery writer takes extreme steps to insure that his latest thriller contains accurate descriptions of horrible murders in this gory horror thriller. He decides that the best way to do this is to set up and witness similar murders first- hand, so, not wanting to bloody his own hands, he hypnotizes his assistant, turns him into a deformed monster and has him do the dirty work using a few devilishly clever gadgets that include binoculars equipped with spring-loaded spikes, a secret guillotine poised above a young womans bed, and deadly ice tongs. Afterward, the writer drops the bodies in a vat of acid. Several people die before the assistant rebels and gets bloody revenge. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

This film is a class "A" drive-in special. The action is stiff and the continuity is not. The murder in the tunnel of love is totally silly. The girl turns toward her killer exposing her chest to his attack. Her head falls back dead and then the next scene her head is back up. The dagger is obviously pointing down into her blouse and you can see the blood pouch through the fabric before the killer pulls it out. Then she falls dead over the side of the boat and when seen from afar she has moved upward twice in the next scene. What a mess for the continuity person. Otherwise, the film is good for a few laughs on a lonely night.If you have had a few to drink.
