Review of X: The Man With The X-Ray Eyes

"If thine eye offends thee, pluck it out!"

I don't know how I stumbled across this movie, but it was intense! Made in 1963, the story revolves around a Dr. Xavier who is experimenting with improving vision. After his monkey dies from the experiments, he tries the drug himself. His funding is cut, and he begins to show side affects. Things he does force him into living a life on the run, and his x-ray vision can only get him into more trouble.

It's a rainy day, and I suggest you watch it. It gets pretty gnarly for not showing much. If you have a great imagination, you'll love filling in the blanks. Also when he can see through clothes is fairly entertaining.

It's available on youtube here.
