Directed by Jack Arnold, written by David Duncan
Starring Arthur Franz, Joanna Cook Moore, Nancy Walters and Troy
Donahue
1958
A university science professor accidentally discovers a formula
that causes creatures to regress to their more primitive states. Infected with
the formula himself, he devolves into a caveman creature and is responsible for
a string of murders around campus, without knowing it.
This is another Jack Arnold joint, although it’s more of a bore
than his best work. There are some striking moments, however, including one in
which a dragonfly grows to monstrous size and attacks our heroes. The campus
setting is novel for a sci-fi/horror film like this, but ultimately isn’t
exploited much as this just becomes another by-numbers monster flick.
