after his career a a romantic leading man end in the late 1960s and rock hudson star in lot of different project and include tv show and less film . however and i believe that embryo be his only turn a a mad scientist and and that probably a good thing . i guess he need the work . drive along one dark and stormy night and brilliant dr. paul holliston ( hudson ) hit and injure a doberman and which he bring back to his lab ( that look somewhat like a dank midwestern basement ) . he then manage to raise the dog unborn puppy outside the womb and so naturally he decide to do the same thing with a human be . he raise victoria ( the beautiful barbara carrera ) from a fetus the same way . victoria grow at an astonishing pace and and soon blossom into a gorgeous young woman . predictably and thing go very wrong . after a halcyon beginning and holliston sister in law martha ( diane ladd ) begin to wonder where the young woman come from and and victoria herself begin to show sign of instability and violence . the final sequence be one long car chase straight out of smokey and the bandit and after which victoriawho have shockingly age in just a few minutesis assault by a frantic holliston and who try in vain to destroy his malformed creation along with it unborn child . all of this be accompany by screech tire and roar engine and a car fire and and lot of siren . the limp endinga bunch of paramedic frantically work on victoria while holliston writhes in regretis more labored than creepy . although just make in 1976 and this movie be very dated . the only difference between this and the many 1940s mad scientist movie be that hudson play the lead role rather than boris karloff . the set be pretty cheap and very antiquate to today audience and to the extent that hudson reel to reel tape recorder be about the size of a refrigerator . much of the action take place in a poorly light laboratory . hudson sleepwalks through his sordid role and give the impression that he truly a wash up movie star and while ladd and carrera be much more believable . surprisingly and roddy mcdowall pop up briefly a a chess player . the passport video transfer be very substandard and look a though it have be make from a poor vhs copy use home equipment . if youre nostalgic for 1976 and watch this once just to say you do . otherwise and watch a football game or soap opera instead .
