Review – Experiment Alcatraz

I watched this because it was part of TCM’s marathon of movie about “The Rock,” but honestly it could have been Experiment Hutchinson Correctional Facility and still turned out to be the same picture. During an experiment in which convicts are exposed to radiation, one guy goes nuts and stabs another to death with a pair of scissors. The treatments are blamed and the experiment shut down, but one of the doctors is still convinced that the radiation wasn’t actually at fault. His investigation uncovers more to the apparently random killing than initially meets the eye. Looking back 50 years later, the “radiation is actually our friend” conclusion is bizarre. Mildly amusing
