Dr. Janos Rukh discovers a certain type of radium that has almost magical healing properties. But the element has a dangerous side, too, and it has already started affecting Rukh. Consumed by paranoia, he begins to suspect that his wife is having an affair. Wild for revenge, Rukh hatches a deadly plot...using his own poisoned body as a weapon to kill.
Editor's Verdict
"The movie is a classic Science Fiction/Horror film from 1936, focusing on radium, paranoia, and revenge. The single detected element, 'Magic,' is heavily associated with the supernatural properties of the radium discovery, not the Christmas holiday."
