fiend without a face (1958)

"Major Cummings has the best explanation so far - mental vampires!"
An American airbase in Canada provokes resentment amongst the locals, who blame the atomic reactors they use for a spate of deaths. Major Jeff Cummings (Marshall Thompson) is assigned to investigate, and flirting with the sister on one of the victims Barbara Griselle (Kim Parker). Once he gets into the case he begins to suspect that a retired scientist Prof. Walgate (Kynaston Reeves), who lives by base, knows more than he is letting on about the unseen killer.
A low budget sci-fi thriller, that manages to hold itself together, and my attention, despite the obvious lack of cash on screen.
