Has a made for TV feel to it.

That strips away at how graphic this Sci fi/horror movie can get. Believe me, if this was rated R, it would've gotten really really ugly at times but it's PG so expect the story and the acting to do the job of bringing the horror across. Rock Hudson was one of the best and here he is as a quasi Frankenstein driven to extremes in memory of his dead wife, they both had worked together along the same experimental lines.

No one comes across as completely twisted and insane which makes this feel disturbing.

Yes, this is somewhat slow moving but that went with the times.

Great seeing early Barbara Carrera work. She has a natural talent as an actress. Entirely believable in this role. Diane Ladd is also excellent in this. Rock Hudson is good in just about anything.
