Boris Karloff shines as usual as a mad scientist, this time one committed to cryogenic research. In fact, he himself is a beneficiary, when, after being frozen alive, he and those frozen with him are revived by a younger doctor who makes use of “frozen therapy” to treat cancer. Unfortunately, the scientist’s monomania, though it holds the promise of improved medical care, leads to unethical experimentation as well, in this solid picture from Columbia.

  Recommended. Otto finds this one pleasing enough to relax.

Movie 550 for 2021.
