The mind of a scientist who, through a drop he developed himself, begins to see the world’s bones, layers, and secrets directly is ultimately put to the test by this relentless vision of his own making. This thriller-science fiction hybrid from Roger Corman traces the irreversible fissures in human perception opened by a dark laboratory experiment. Spanning from the neon lights of Las Vegas to sterile hospital rooms, this relentless journey lays bare not only the outside world but also the pitch-black depths of the human soul. Every new layer the eye perceives erodes the comfortable boundaries of reality a little further.
