the title alone ( along with the poster ) be enough to give away the projected man a an obvious rip off of the fly . and bryant haliday and while much good than the typical imdb review would have you think and be nobody idea of an acceptable stand in for vincent price . although and come to think of it and who would be and unless micheal gough be available . still and if you be in the mood to watch a british hammer style movie with a science fiction theme about a teleportation experiment go horribly wrong . well and you still might want to give the project man a pas and rummage around in the remaindered bin at your local wal mart for another teleporter accident movie . because this one just isn not all that good . haliday catch a lot of good natured ribbing from the mst3k crew for his part in this movie and in devil doll and but he be actually the best thing in tpm . maybe he can not carry the movie and but he get practically no help here from the screenplay . the script bog down any forward momentum the plot may have in a mire of nonsense about funding and university politics and a guy name lembach and some sinister cabal who want the teleportation machine to fail so they can steal it secret . or something . so all the dramatic sequence in the first half of movie involve either phone call or unconvincing special effect with transparent espresso machine and teleport rat . then when poor haliday get mutilate by his machine and he have to spend the last part of the film wear a diaper over half his face and rubber cement over the rest while he electrocute various londoner who chance across his path . tom cruise and eric robert use bullhorn couldn not have make this screenplay work . meanwhile all the other actor diligently try to inject life and interest into their role for this turgid little project and but the screenplay just swallow their effort whole . the corrupt project administrator fret and fume and hiss into the phone to his blackmailer and all the while fail to notice that he look like a werewolf outfit in a tweed suit and a tattersall vest . haliday research assistant and ex girlfriend have the least convincing romance in the history of british horror cinema . his secretary be force to parade around in her small . none of it really work or gel into a real movie . and it all just kind of stop dead and leave the viewer go and eh . excuse me and wasn not there suppose to be an end here . still and for all it problem and i can easily name a dozen horror movie from the same period that be a bad or bad and and so could anyone else who follow movie ( or who have ever browse the imdb bottom 100 ) . i wouldn not actually pay money to own projected man and but if it be include in some compilation along with a dozen other movie in a dvd collection and i would probably feel ok about have it . it a harmless diversion and perfect for a horror movie film festival and to watch with friend while consume many beer and snack on a saturday evening .
