**_Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely_**

In London, an elderly husband & wife (Boris Karloff & Catherine Lacey) test their new mesmerizing device on a young man (Ian Ogilvy) and find that they are able to control his behavior. While this may be a scientific breakthrough, is it ethical? Elizabeth Ercy and Victor Henry play the guy’s friends.

With a title like "The Sorcerers" (1967) you might it’s about wizards in the distant past, but it’s actually a sci-fi/horror set in modern London made by a minor rival of Hammer films. I heard a critic lambaste the flick for what he called its laughable concept, but I guess that’s why they call it science _FICTION_.

Karloff was nearing the end of his career at 79 while you might remember Ian Ogilvy as the hero in “Witchfinder General” (1968), aka “The Conqueror Worm.”

The flick scores well on the female front with stunning Elizabeth Ercy in the lead, along with a young Susan George as the protagonist’s ex-girlfriend and Sally Sheridan as the singer at the nightclub.

This is a good movie to take a peek at London in the mid-60s. The protagonist is great (he's more accurately victim), the women are ravishing, the concept is interesting, the moral is potent and there’s quite a bit of action.

The film runs 1 hour, 26 minutes, and was shot entirely in London.
