The Man with the X-Ray Eyes

Considering the budget for the movie (around $300,000) this movie turned out fairly decent. That is not to say this is great movie - I would say more intriguing than great - but it still is enjoyable. I watched this by myself first to make sure it was as I remembered it then I watched this with some friends at our monthly movie night. When it's warm I set up my 10 foot screen outside and watch a movie plus some cartoons, 1930-40's movie shorts, movie trailers, even some of the old drive-in intermission stuff - I try to keep it about 3 to 3.5 hours in total usually.And since it's close to Halloween I picked this one as since all of this is my idea I always decide what we watch. Surprisingly everyone at least liked it. I always talk 3 or 4 minutes before we start and before the 'main' showing - trivia about the movie, etc. 2 or 3 people had seen this on Sammy Terry's TV show (local horror icon who showed stuff mostly from the 1930 thru the 1970's) that was on from about 1960 thru the early 1980's.When I told them about the rumored ending ('I can still see') it got a pretty big reaction.The basic idea is pretty good but the budget pretty much killed any real chance of having a truly good movie. The picture and sound on this DVD was pretty good. I would rate this a good solid B level movie a 7.25 to 7.75 out of 10 - recommended especially if you get it from you local library!

This is a very important film for many reasons the first of which is it points to the psychedelic drugs as used for "consciousness expanding" but in this Dr, X just needs a topical drop not the pyramid eye dose on or under the tongue. What is seen is indeed at the heart of the matter and since the fall of man the very nature of the fall with Lucifer and sin itself all pointing to a need for a savior, That savior is Christ the Lord, The Luciferian illuminati is unmasked inadvertently in this classic time-piece. Demon magicians like Dynamo and mind-readers like Darren Brown too. I highly recommend this to anyone with eyes to see.

...never disappoints! Whether it is as the charming "wrong man" of "The Big Clock", the smitten hero of "The Uninvited", the icy, spurned former tennis star of "Dial M for Murder"(Really, Grace Kelly - Robert Cummings?), the racist second head to Rosey Grier's enormous lumbering body, or as a mad scientist at a swinging party who is suddenly faced with a roomful of twisting nudies, Ray Milland gave his all to every performance. Perhaps he approached this part as "The Lost Weekend, Part X", with his uncontrollable dispensing of x-ray imbuing eye-drops taking the place of the hooch.I had fond memories of this film from rainy Saturday afternoon local b-movie broadcasts, and it actually held up upon recent viewing. Viva Ray! Viva Roger Corman!

A movie from my childhood years. Brought back memories. Not as good as I remembered it though! Ah youth! This is one of those old corny Si Fi movies you just have to see again and go 'really'.The quality of service provided by amazon wasn't the greatest however. Seems as if during peak hours their service/feed is very poor. Movie was continuously rebooting (not enough band with) and the sound track was not in sync with the movie. Funny I only have that problem (what I assume to be) during peak viewing hours.

Classic Corman. You simply can't be a B-movie fan without having seen this. The story is good by itself and is typical of, say, a TZ episode. What makes this so worthwhile are the upcoming actors who populate the film and the above-average characterizations they offer. Though very dated, "X" should be an inspiration for independent film-makers operating on limited budgets.

the man with the x-ray eyes is about a doctor played by ray milland who experients on himself with a type of eyedrop to give him x-ray vision, believing he can help people. he tests the eye drops on a chimpanzee first, which drops dead apparently from shock. he's later on the run because he's accused of killing someone who falls to his death. the effects accumulate until it comes to a shocking end to what he can see. look for insult comedian don rickles.

I love old sifi movies

This 1960's movie has good production values for a low budget Roger Corman movie.Imagine my surprise on this MPAA approved movie when I found the last five seconds missing. This was the climax, for crying out loud. This is not the fault of the seller or Amazon. If you are thinking about this one, you might want to think twice. Who wants to buy a movie with the ending altered or omitted. A shame. Thanks.

This SE has very similar packaging as the Night of the Demon SE. The contents are wonderfully conceived and presented.As for the movie. PQ is beautiful with bright yet accurate colours.You won't find a finer bluray package than this one.Yes it's expensive but it's worth every penny

As a CORMAN fan I had to have this set and its great nice col and sound and its in a very nice hard box with a nice book and poster more please 10/10

Only seen this film once before and found it fascinating, always a fan of Ray Milland, but not seen him in Sci-Fi before. The story is about a renowned scientist who is obsessed with increasing the power of vision and uses the eye drops he is researching on himself, foolish man, because his funding is cut off. The director of the film is the brilliant horror enthusiast Roger Corman, so a horror twist on sci-fi. This is a 1963 film but it zips along with an excellent performance from its lead actor in particular

Hadn't seen this in years. Nicely packaged and well worth the wait."If thine eye offends thee then tear it out". Ray goes one better. He tears out both eyes!

Terrific 'drive-in' fodder from a B film classic. Perhaps Corrman's finest film.
