qmtv The story is silly. We must all agree to that. But the acting, cinematography, music, editing are all professional. This makes this movie very watchable. Some decent effects. The dialogue along with the story is silly.This is a 1957 B/W production. When viewed in light of the period made, the low budget, high professional production, and silly story, it makes for a fun movie. No gore to be seen. But some decent twists. Helens choice at the end was commendable. And Quintes getting stuck in the past is also a good twist, he can't get back to the present because the live link of Helens death.Rating is a C, or 5 stars. Roger Corman does it again.

daikaiju1954 I'v seen many of Roger Corman's film's but this is the most annoying, mind numbing, dull, confused piece of garbage I have ever seen. After you see this you night as well let it stay dead and buried.The movie follows the story of prostitute, who is put into a hypnotic trance by a psychic, thus causing her to regress back to a previous life in the Dark ages. Back to the old days of knights and crazy singing gravediggers. The idea of a horror film about reincarnation and past- life experience is very interesting, but it's handle here in a way you just want to go back in time and kick Corman right in both of his shinbones. Interesting fact The movie was filmed in a converted supermarket, and was completed in only six days. Movie critic Leonard Maltin gave this movie 4 star out of 5. Why he did is this movie a good review? Probably he was on drugs.

Michael_Elliott Undead, The (1957) ** 1/2 (out of 4) Interesting Roger Corman film could have been a lot more with a bigger budget. A psychic researching pays a hooker to be hypnotized but he accidentally sends her back to the Dark Ages. While talking with the woman he learns that she was a witch who's to be executed. The film has a lot of interesting ideas but this is one film where the low budget actually works against Corman. There's some nice atmosphere throughout and Allison Hayes is always worth watching. Also stars Pamela Duncan, Richard Garland, Dick Miller and Mel Welles.

dain_bramaged_926 I'm a huge MST3K fan, and I love watching the show to see just how bad the movies they're making fun of can get. However, when I saw this one the other day, I was surprised that it had even been picked for an episode! It wasn't at all the usual rubbish that is usually shown on MST3K.The acting was quite good, the dialog was well done, and sometimes touching. Even the cinematography was pretty good. There were a few very badly done special effects in the film, but it didn't make too big a difference.I thought that the ending of the movie was very good, and I really felt for the main character, who had to decide between her own life and the lives of others yet to come.SURE, it was a corny fifties witchcraft film. SURE there were times when the plot made little to no sense, but really it was fine, and I wouldn't mind watching the original version some time.
