Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaReleased on a double bill with The Terrornauts (1967). Director Freddie Francis claimed that the company had spent all their budget on that film, leaving nothing left for They Came from Beyond Space (1967). The double feature failed at the box office and has been described as "the two worst films the company ever produced".
- GoofsWhile Stillwell and Curtis are having their discussion in the jalopy, the blue screen background is reflected on the car making it appear as though the hood is transparent and the countryside is seen through it and Stillwell.
- Crazy creditsIn the end credits, Kenneth Kendall's surname is spelled Kandall.
- Alternate versionsWhen originally released theatrically in the UK, the BBFC made cuts to secure a 'A' rating. All cuts were waived in 2012 when the film was granted a 'PG' certificate for its premiere DVD release (actually released 17 October 2011).

Featured review
Nice film, except for the fight music
Considering that this film was obviously shot on a tight budget, it worked out to be an enjoyable film nonetheless. I haven't seen many Hutton films, but I like his Style of thinking, cerebral hero who reasons first, shoots later.
This film must have been very inspirational to Stephen King, as the plot of his book "The Tommyknockers" was nearly identical to the plot of this movie - right down to the hero with a metal plate in his head.
Of course, the only real down side to this film is the fight music. All it consists of is Someone pounding on a snare drum. they could have done better here.
All in all, it's an enjoyable film of it's era, and one I Will probably watch again.
