"Where were you last night?"Professor Mounserrat (Boris Karloff) and his wife Estelle (Catherine Lacey) are an elderly couple who have developed a technique to control other people's minds through a form of hypnotism. This allows them to feel the sensations the subject feels, allowing them to live vicariously through the subject. Their latest victim is a hip young arrogant thing about town Mike Roscoe (Ian Ogilvy). The couple force him to go further and further in pursuit of pleasure. But when Estelle takes control and forces Mike into murder, the Professor realises he has to stop his wife, but how?
A low budget horror, effectively directed by the up and coming Michael Reeves, who unfortunately died before fulfilling his potential. The budget forced the makers to concentrate on the melodrama of the piece, rather than flashy set pieces, which is all to the good.
