British paramedic Jason Channing (Jamie Ross) shows up for a tour of duty with Station 51 to observe American lifesaving techniques. With Roy (Kevin Tighe) and John (Randolph Mantooth) as his guides, the visitor participates in the rescue of an unconscious cop trapped in a burning elevator and a man entangled in industrial machinery. Meanwhile, Dr. Brackett (Robert Fuller) tangles with the insensitive manager of a comatose rock diva who is literally being worked to death. Featured in the supporting cast is Stanley Kamel, who three decades later appeared recurringly as the psychiatrist in the cable-TV detective series Monk. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

John Considine does a cut-rate Vincent Price impersonation as the flamboyant Dr. Death, a thousand-year-old magician who has mastered he art of transferring souls from one body to another and thereby manages to perpetuate himself by jumping from one body to the next (which actually makes him more of a "Seeker of Bodies"). Apparently the Doc is a kindred spirit to the Alien, since his blood is a highly-corrosive acid that can strip flesh from bone, thus ensuring his personal safety. This is "Z"-grade fare that plays somewhat like a Herschell Gordon Lewis film, but without enough silliness to keep things amusing. The only point of interest keeping this film in circulation (mainly via late-night-cable) is the presence of sad-looking former Stooge Moe Howard in his last role as a perverted old man. ~ Cavett Binion, All Movie Guide
