Set in rural New Mexico, an elderly man (Ed Nelson) regains his youth after making a deal with Satan. But instead of enjoying his newfound youth, he's malevolent and starts causing deaths. Directed by Charles R. Rondeau (THE THREAT), this B horror flick was made in 1958 but didn't get a theatrical release until 1961 when Roger Corman picked it up for distribution. A minor piece of low budget horror but it has a certain amount of eerie atmosphere that compensates for its shortcomings. One of those shortcomings is why is he killing people. It just seems random without any logical explanation. It's not very scary and depends on its moody ambience to hold your attention. It's predictable but sincere. With Edgar Buchanan, Jean Allison, Richard Crane and Claire Carleton.
