Kino Lorber have sent us two video clips from new video interviews with director Joe Dante in which he discusses Roger Corman's The Premature Burial and X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes. The two films will be released on Blu-ray on May 12.
Synopsis: 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!
Synopsis: Talk about a tortured artist! Oscar winner Ray Milland is Guy, a medical student and painter whose obsessive fear of being buried alive compels him to build himself a tomb with a view, equipped with everything he can think of to escape death. But it's when his long suffering wife convinces him to destroy the tomb that he finds himself in the gravest of danger!
