The premise

A doctor uses special eye drops to give himself x-ray vision, but the new power has disastrous consequences.

Horror Vault's take

A driven scientist pushes the boundaries of human perception by dosing himself with experimental drops that grant him the ability to see through solid matter — at first a miracle, then a mounting curse. As his vision penetrates deeper into reality than any human mind was meant to endure, his grip on normalcy begins to unravel. Ray Milland delivers a haunted, committed performance as a man whose gift rapidly becomes an all-consuming horror. This Roger Corman classic asks how much truth the human psyche can withstand before it shatters.
