[box] Tagline: Born a Man…Turned Into a Living Laser Beam By Science’s Most Gruesome Experiment![/box]
This movie has a many things in common with The Fly (1958). Quality is not among them.
Scientists are experimenting with transmitting matter through space by means of laser beams. The process works well on inanimate objects but there are a few glitches in transmitting living things. The sinister head of the institute is trying to halt the experiments, discredit the scientist, and secretly sell the research to an unseen figure. Dr. Paul Steiner, chief scientist, decides he will prove his process works by transmitting himself his boss’s dining room. This works just about as well as could be expected. We get a love triangle for good measure.
This one got the MST3K treatment and the riff track provides some laughs. Unfortunately, the original is just tedious.
