I like the way she embodies the common person who given the choice of no consequence to their actions thinks screw it let's go crazy.
Karloff's character is shocked by her excesses and realises he has to stop the one he loves who has become a monster. I think the film is unusual and has a real point to make and defies the usual mad scientist commonplace routine for something more down to earth and real.
Also there's Ogilvy, Susan George, a 60's club scene and trippy psychedelic inspired hypnosis scenes.
What more could you want??? | What point does it have to make?
