Not unlike the similarly named genius who formed the X-Men, Dr. Xavier wants to use his special power—in his case, X-ray vision—to help people, but eventually the ability to look through almost anything begins to wear on the doctor, showing him more than he ever hoped to see. Reuniting Ray Milland with director Roger Corman, X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes is coming to Blu-ray and DVD this spring.
Like their recently announced The Premature Burial home media offering, Kino Lorber will release X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes on Blu-ray and DVD sometime in May. No special features are known at this time, but the distributor has stated this release will feature a new HD master. Stay tuned to Daily Dead for more details.
Directed by Roger Corman off a screenplay by Robert Dillon and Ray Russell, X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes stars Ray Milland, Diana Van der Vlis, Harold J. Stone, John Hoyt, and Don Rickles.
"When the brilliant Dr. Xavier (Milland) concocts a serum to improve human sight, he stumbles upon a formula for x-ray vision. Inspired by its awesome medical potential, but shunned by his short-sighted colleagues, the doctor tests the potion on himself, only to discover that his ability to see through walls, clothing and flesh is slowly eclipsed by and insatiable desire to look still further - even if it means seeing more than any mortal can bear!"
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
