Richard Egan stars as Dr. David Sheppard of the OSI (Office Of Scientific Investigation). He has been called in to investigate a series of bizarre murders in a secret underground lab.
The scientists own devices have been coming to life by themselves and killing the creators. The first victim we see is Dr. Hubertus (Michael Fox) as he is frozen to death as well as his female assistant. Gruesome to say the least.
These strange incidents keep happening as Sheppard tries to unravel the mystery as quickly as possible. They soon discover that whenever one of these incidents takes place their radar picks up a plane or rocket flying at 80,000 feet over the base.
The master computer called NOVAC has been compromised and this is what is allowing the infiltration to take place. The climax involves Sheppard and other fighting two great looking robot named Gog and Magog who are being used to tamper with the radiation rods.
This is a great film no matter how you look at it. The restoration is gorgeous and it looks great in both 3-D and 2-D. It took the 3D Film Archive a very long time to make this release a reality, and it was worth it.
On the disc is an interview with director Herbert L. Strock from 2002, and he has some very interesting stories of the making of the movie. This has been out for a number of years, but if you haven't picked it up yet, you should.
It's a great sci-fi classic that deserves another look. The rest of the cast includes Herbert Marshall, Constance Dowling, John Wengraf, Philip Van Zandt and William Schallert.
