The Man Who Changed His Mind1936
Directed by Robert Stevenson
The premise
Dr. Laurence, a once-respectable scientist, begins to research the origin of the mind and the soul. The science community rejects him, and he risks losing everything for which he has worked. He begins to use his discoveries to save his research and further his own causes, thereby becoming ... a mad scientist, almost unstoppable.
Horror Vault's take
A brilliant but embittered scientist delves into the forbidden territory of consciousness itself, determined to unlock the secrets of the mind and soul after the academic establishment turns its back on him. With a fully equipped laboratory and nothing left to lose, Dr. Laurence's experiments grow increasingly dangerous — and disturbingly personal. Boris Karloff brings his trademark menace to a role that blurs the line between visionary and monster. This pre-war British chiller offers a cerebral twist on the mad-scientist formula that lingers well after the credits roll.
