A resurrected review:
A scientist attempting to improve surgical techniques by introducing phosphorescence into human tissues accidentally transforms himself into a half-human cat-monster.
As you do.

I have also restored access to my review of SEYTAN (1974), which apparently has been MIA due to some weird permissions issue.

Gah, those annoying “sympathetic” thirties and forties characters. Only thing worse than an unlikeable hero/ine is an odious comic relief – though I’m possibly spoiled by having recently watched The Most Dangerous Game (the original version), in which the thing one always hopes for actually happens.

Nora is probably the second-most irritating 40s “heroine” I’ve come across, just behind Laraine Day’s character in Fingers At The Window (but I’ll leave it up to Santo to tell you about her). As for Reade, ugh!
Of course, given that I struggle to sympathise with people freaked out by sharks / snakes / spiders, someone with a cat phobia was always going to be pushing it uphill. 🙂
Roger Corman always had a penchant for offing the OCR…I recommend you sooth your soul in that direction!

Howling IV also seems to suffer from some permission issues.

Thanks for the heads-up, Mark – I’ll look into that.
