Review – The Man with Nine Lives

This movie has a few interesting notions about freezing. First premise: it’s possible to freeze a human being and then bring her back to life. Second premise: this can be accomplished by packing the person in ice and turning some fans on her. Third premise: this cures cancer. It’s hard to say which of these premises is the most ridiculous, and that in turn makes it hard to accept this picture at face value. Once again Boris Karloff plays a mad scientist revived from the dead – or at least the deep freeze – to continue his experiments. If only they’d just let the guy work, maybe he wouldn’t go mad and start doing all kinds of creepy tests on unwilling victims. Mildly amusing
