From the get-go, one of the strangest and ultimately horrifying movies you'll ever see. Hudson gives a very good performance as a man given a new life through surgery, while his old life is ended with a faked death, corpse included. And all for only about $30,000. Even in 1966, that seems a bargain. But is Rock grateful? Oh no. Not even a house by the beach and a blonde can make him happy in his new life! Creepy to say the least. And frankly, looking at all the support he is given by "the company" the economics don't add up. Jeff Corey is really good as the face of the company. Especially when eating a chicken dinner. Definitely one of the oddest films I have ever watched. Amusing, horrifying, and effective at the same time.… (altro)
