"I am the man with the power to create catastrophe," booms Richard Burton in this horror-style story. Burton's character has the power to move objects, to cause the death of anyone who stands in his way. Like his nanny, his parents, or all the passengers in a jumbo jet. When he turns his attention to cathedrals, atomic research establishments and moonshots, it's obvious the authorities have to step in. Fans of horrific hokum will enjoy themselves while cynics chuckle. Ironically, the film's most effective patches come with dialogue that is actually meant to be funny, especially Burton's scathingly vitriolic dissection of his faithless wife.
