the projected man (1966)

Dr. Paul Steiner (Bryant Haliday) is experimenting with matter transmission, but he has problems with polarity and static shocks. With the imminent threat of his funding being cut, he brings in Dr. Patricia Hill (Mary Peach) to help him and successfully transports a monkey. Steiner then learns that his boss has arranged a demonstration, in the hope of discrediting Steiner. Sure enough something goes wrong during the demo due to sabotage. In desperation he decides to use himself as a test specimen. But as usual the process goes wrong. With half his body hideously deformed and lethal to the touch, he seeks out those he believe ruined his life and experiments.
An entertaining enough film, that takes much from The Fly trilogy, though offers nothing new to the genre.
