Director Roger Corman keeps this moving and Ray Milland is competent as the doomed man. Special effects on his prism-eye world, called Spectarama, are good if sometimes repetitive.

This queasy 1963 SF parable was directed--quickly and cheaply--by Roger Corman for American-International, drawing some of its strength from its tawdry drive-in overtones.
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

Intelligent sci-fi movie has a powerful performance from Milland.
Geoff Andrew, Time Out

Surprisingly level-headed and persuasive in its restraint and succinct dialogue.
