The premise

Two brothers, scientists Scott and Tony Nelson, develop an amplifier which enables a person to enter a 4th dimensional state, allowing him to pass through any object. Scott experiments on himself and discovers that each time he passes through something he ages rapidly. He begins killing people, sucking out their life energies and regaining his youth as a result.

Horror Vault's take

When two scientist brothers perfect a device that allows a human body to phase through solid matter, the line between breakthrough and catastrophe proves razor-thin. The technology extracts a terrifying biological toll on the experimenter, setting him on an increasingly desperate and deadly path to counteract its effects. Part Cold War cautionary tale and part monster-of-science thriller, this late-1950s shocker blends atomic-age anxiety with genuine dread. A romantic rivalry between the brothers adds a charged human undercurrent to the escalating horror.
