Project X (1968) YIFY - Download Movie TORRENT

Visiting Birmingham,me and a pal decided to check HMV Vault (the largest entertainment store in Europe.) Picking up The Ghost Note Symphonies by Rise Against,I went to check their Blu-ray section. Having gotten the Indicator box set of his work for my birthday,and a subscriber to UK film mags The Dark Side and Infinity,I was thrilled to stumble on a William Castle Blu,with a commentary by the Dark Side/Infinity editor, leading me to uncover project x.View on the film:Whilst the print has the odd spot of dirt, 101 Films present a shiny transfer of a clean soundtrack and a bright image with visible film grain, backed by fantastic extras,including a commentary by The Dark Side/Infinity editor Allan Bryce,and journalist David Flint.The second to last flick he would direct, (the final would be years later with Shanks (1974) ) director William Castle & Harold E. Stine project a gloriously psychedelic atmosphere of Arnold's memories across the screen in brash overlapping distorted images.Despite it sadly not getting a mention in his autobiography, Castle brings out a refreshingly kitsch stylisation to this Euro Spy-style action and Sci-Fi quirks mash-up. Teaming up with Hanna-Barbera, Castle paints their animation over Arnold's (a wonderfully chewy Christopher George) splintered spying memories, melting into clunky laser guns and Sci-Fi babe short skirts.Following Castle in this also being his second to last script credit, (his final was a ep of Medical Center,which like Castle was also in 1974!) the screenplay by Edmund Morris nimbly criss-crosses adapting Leslie P. Davies's novels into one slick tale, thanks to Morris joining scientists attempts to unlock Arnold's hidden memory with a swift con trick convincing Arnold he's a gangster in 1968,as the scientists mark their project with a x.

A very interesting movie, prophetic in ways

Project X (1968) was a mystery & a science fiction film. The premise is that in the year 2118, the world is very overcrowded and there are two main powers, the Oriental East, and the occidental West. A mysterious message from the main character says that the East is going to destroy the West in 14 days but then he loses his memory due to an anti-torture drug he has taken. The race is on using mind reading technology to try and find out what is going on, but someone is really working for the other side? Who to believe? What is the threat? The movie correctly predicts that genetic manipulation would soon be a real possibility. The ability to read minds with machinery, and the need to go thru an elaborate deception is explained in some detail, they do a good job setting it up, but it complex and hard to follow in one viewing. Henry Jones as the head scientist lends some believability to the situation, making keen observations, but whose side is he on? Greta Baldwin is a very friendly young woman from 2118 that makes me think that there is hope for the future if there are a lot of women like her then. Christopher George as our amnesic hero does a good job portraying a good man thrust into an immoral situation. All in all it was a better than average Sci Fi movie for it's day, with many thought provoking ideas embedded in it. Incidentally I know how this movie can be seen in 1999.
