Karloff is great in atmospheric drama., 10 September 1999
8/10
Author: David Atfield (bits@alphalink.com.au) from Canberra, Australia

Boris Karloff gives one of his best performances as a tormented doctor trying to invent anaesthesia. In the process he becomes addicted to the narcotics and begin associating with various London low-lifes - including grave-robber Christopher Lee in a rivetting performance.

This is less horror than an atmospheric character study - and it is really very good.
