The Man with Nine Lives
He kills in the name of science...Tombs of ice for the living...Chambers of horror for the dead!
Directed by Nick Grindé
Produced by Columbia Pictures
A pulpy 1940s mad-scientist thriller that uses cryogenic freezing as both scientific premise and instrument of revenge, blending body-horror and paranoia with period-appropriate melodrama.
Dr. Leon Kravaal develops a potential cure for cancer, which involves freezing the patient. But an experiment goes awry when authorities believe Kravaal has killed a patient. Kravaal freezes the officials, along with himself. Years later, they are discovered and revived in hopes that Kravaal can indeed complete his cure. But human greed and weakness compound to disrupt the project.
