This French science fiction film centers around a scientist named Jean Durand (Claude Dauphin) who invents a machine that can predict the exact time a person will die.
Needless to say this causes quite a stir and one of his investors wants to use the machine for a life insurance scam. The people that try the machine soon regret that they did. His girlfriend wants him to stop and destroy the machine as it brings nothing but heartache to those that use it.
Durand begins to see the errors of his ways, but it may be too late as the knowledge of a top bankers death brings about stock market crash in France.
This is a rare but very good example of foreign sci-fi and Sinister brings us a beautiful and subtitled print. The cast includes Erich Von Stroheim.
I really recommend this for sci-fi fans who are looking for something a little bit different.
