Satirical Sci Fi at its best!, 24 June 2004
10/10
Author: Charlie C from Israel

One of the best in the classic science fiction cinema library of tales where a simple idea becomes a complex twist of monkey business.

You'll love the ending of this film after watching its eerie plot unfold as Quartemass and the Pit and Frankenstien unfolded. Beware of trusting the man who would steal the head of Michele de Nostradame a famous french prophet who wrote the centuries.

As he betrays the scientist with the stock market predictions a struggle between what is morally right and wrong takes place. Nostradamus finally has the last laugh.

Having this classic in your sci fi library is a must! My favorite scene was when the head awakens and the climactic debate begins between Nostradamus and his captor. I don't want to give the ending away but at the end of this film, Nostradamus is hanging around with a big smile on his face.
