Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

jamesraeburn2003 Whilst experimenting with a matter transmitter, scientist Dr Paul Steiner (Briant Haliday) succeeds in perfecting a technique that can teleport living beings from one end of his laboratory to another using mice as his guinea pigs. Steiner and his colleagues, Dr Patricia Hill (Mary Peach) and Dr Mitchell (Ronald Allen) prepare a demonstration for a visiting official from the Swiss government, Dr Lembach (Gerard Heinz). But, Steiner's bosses, Dr Blanchard (Norman Wooland) and Latham (Derrick de Marney), are planning to steal his research materials and sell the process to the highest bidder. To this end they feign scepticism of his theories and sabotage his equipment so that his demonstration goes wrong. Dr Blanchard them tells Steiner that no more time or money will be afforded to his experiments, which makes him even more determined to prove his theories correct. So he arranges to teleport himself from his laboratory into Blanchard's study, which goes horribly wrong and he is transformed into a hideously deformed creature that needs to be fed with electricity to survive. First, he electrocutes three small time crooks and a cat to death on a building site. Then he kidnaps his secretary, Sheila (Tracey Crisp), who tells him what his bosses have really been up to and he sets out to get revenge on them...Hokey sci-fi horror made during the British horror wave of the 60's, which was spearheaded by Hammer but other producers sought to jump on the bandwagon and cash in on it with their own low budget shockers. Some of the special effects work looks okay (for its time), but the shocks are routine and would unlikely chill a baby nowadays. Director Ian Curteis keeps the plot moving along swiftly but fails to create much in the way of suspense or tension. The climax at Battersea power station, however, is mildly thrilling where the cops have Haliday cornered inside and Mary Peach goes in alone to try and persuade him to come back to the laboratory where Allen thinks he has found a way to cure him. The budding romance between Peach and Allen is bland and insipid and they are just about the most boring hero and heroine imaginable. Bryant Haliday offers the best performance as Dr Steiner who is transformed into a monster during his vain bid to persuade his bosses that his discoveries are genuine. But, little did he know that Dr Blanchard and Latham actually knew the potential of his matter transmitter and only feigned scepticism in order to steal it from right under his nose and clean up. Haliday makes him a sympathetic character as he seeks revenge against them. Film buffs will spot Derrick de Marney, a former leading man in the 1930's and 40's, in the supporting cast as a villain complete with a cat a la Blofeld in the Bond movies. Oh, and the versatile Derek Farr is in there too as a police inspector.All in all, The Projected Man emerges as a hokey and rather dated sci-fi horror, but it is worth the watch as a pleasant reminder of a gentler era of British film making that has long since disappeared.

verbusen Maybe it caught me at the right moment, but watching the MST3K version of this movie made me laugh more then any other of that show's episodes I think I've ever seen! As far as the film goes a lot of people are comparing it to The Fly, I think it's a lot closer to The 4 D Man. BTW, I liked the 4D Man, and if I was watching this on it's own I might like this also depending if I was really bored and nothing else was on to watch. If you have not seen 4 D Man, and like late 50's sci fi, check it out it's a good watch. Back to MST3K version of Projector man, usually I tend to think that episodes after Joel left are not as funny, this one (and as I watch more later episodes) is top tier for being among the shows best. An example is the part with the passed out receptionist in her unusual picnic tablecloth underwear (Mike says, "her underwear is from the Ellie Mae Secrets Collection"). As bad as this film is on it's own, it's great as a MST3K episode, I'm giving it an 8 out of 10.

Greg Eichelberger The film, a Universal release of a Protelco-MLC production, is a boring retelling of the theory of breaking down the molecular structure of an object, capturing it in a cell as "pure energy," and then sending it back complete to a "target area." There is no explanation WHY this is necessary, but Professor Paul Steiner (played by pock-mocked actor Bryant Haliday, "Devil Doll") thinks it's something to dedicate his, and his assistants', Pat Hill (Mary Peach) and Chris Mitchell (Ronald Allen), lives to. During an experiment before noted Dutch scientist "Lembach" (Gordon Heinz), his machine fails due to sabotage, so he has himself "projected" by his secretary, Sheila (Tracey Crisp) to seek revenge. Of course, she screws up and he comes out looking like a "pork roast" with the power to electrocute people. With this new-found power, he manages to zap some Cockney idiots, a security guy named Latham (Derrick de Marney) and his lab boss, Dr. Blanchard (Norman Woodland). He also is able to break into a pharmacy and steal a pair of rubber gloves and a black coat, as well. In the end, though, despite Hill and Mitchell's attempt to help him, the clown destroys his equipment and himself. On the whole, a completely pointless movie with no message at all. Also one of the most depressing color films you will ever see.

Outer_Heaven The MST3K version with Mike and the bots is hilarious!!! Crow: "No more tedious carrying rats across the room" This movie is like "The Fly" Bryant Haliday was in another MSTied movie "Devil Doll" mutant monster wearing a diaper on half his face
