A rich, mean-spirited old woman funds a mad scientist to carry out experiments in the basement of her large house. The technique being developed is atomic energy powered brain transferral. To this end she wants to take over a sexy young body, so three foreign girls are lured to the house with the idea that they are to be house maids. As if
This crazy sci-fi horror film is one it seems I appreciate more than most. It may be trashy but it's never boring. It's fast-paced and throws all manner of strange events and ideas at the viewer. We have a lumbering dog-man monster who roams the grounds of the estate, a zombie-like white-gowned gothy girl who drifts around nearby and a cat-girl who climbs around and lashes out at anyone who gets in her way. There's an eyeball removal and copious scenes where the young ladies are subjected to demeaning examinations by the wicked old crone (they never seem to find this unusual). The girls have a selection of the most insanely inaccurate foreign accents imaginable, especially the 'English' girl. While, perhaps the piece-de-resistance of the whole movie is a sequence where the sneaky mad scientist transfers the bitter old boot's brain into her cat, annoying her so seriously that – as a cat – she presses the atomic button while the scientist is in the walled off lab frazzling him into a skeleton!
What more does one need in a low-budget 60's sci-fi flick? Great fun.
