No one under 40 years of age should be allowed to rate this movie. It was made for the big screen. The tube takes away from the unique special effects.Todays audience does not appreciate the days of non-computer effects. As a teen-age female when I saw it at the theater, I was shocked (wasn't that the point?) at the horror. Crushed that a gorgeous hunk like Jacques Bergerac could be the bad guy, and that spiraling "hypnotic eye" was sooo much more memorable when it was bigger than the audience.It really came out at you, without it being a 3-D movie . Their advertising claimed it could hypnotize the audience. Well,of course,it couldn't, but it did have an affect of you. It could not have been the "bad" movie some sites say it was, if I recall him and the "eye" after 46 years.
