(1959 aka THE SPLIT, Upgraded 11/25/22) Peter Dyneley, Jane Hylton, Tetsu Nakamura, Terri Zimmern, Norman Van Hawley. The well-done, chilling tale of a reporter injected with a strange serum by a mad scientist. He finds himself slowly transforming into a horrible, two-headed monster. The moment where he first sees an human eye coming out of his shoulder is unforgettable. Nakamura gives a great low-key performance as an ambition-driven mad doctor. Zimmern is great as his beautiful love-torn assistant. Dyneley gives a wonderfully broad performance, transforming from a gregarious reporter to a grim shell of a human being. The head-coming-out-of-his-shoulder scene is a gem. Made in Japan with all English speaking cast. Originally played on a double bill with Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus. From 35mm.
