Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

The Man Who Changed His Mind (original title) AKA The Man Who Lived Again (1936). This film is another example of Karloff's brilliance of acting skills. He takes a good character, Dr. Laurience, and makes him beyond great. Dr. Laurience has discovered a way transfer the thoughts of one person into the body of another.Lord Haslewood has the money while Dr. Laurience has the knowledge. The medical community has laughed at Dr. Laurience and it is Lord Haslewood that is funding the research. Clayton is Dr. Laurience's wheelchair bound assistant and the only person that knows the doctor's experiments actually work outside of one woman,Dr. Clare Wyatt, that begins to believe Dr. Laurience but can she stop him on time? Murder and lots of body/mind switching at the end of the film- so you will not want to miss who is who and why.9/10

Boris Karloff is reason enough to see any film of his. The Man Who Changed His Mind is not an exception. At 62 minutes, I did think it was too short, you'd expect a TV episode to be that length but not so much a film, and John Loder is rather stiff as a character that is not particularly interesting. However, The Man Who Changed His Mind is well shot with sets that add to the atmosphere. The music score, while it's never going to be one of my favourites, fits with the mood very well, with some memorable parts and it never overbears the drama. The dialogue is tongue-in-cheek and witty, advantaged also by being delivered with zest by the cast. The idea in variations has been done to death, but you don't care here because the story is suspenseful, fun and always interesting with not a moment when it drags. Other plot points such as the love triangle bring a touching yet never over-saccharine element to it but sensibly kept at minimum. Anna Lee is radiant in looks and proves to be a sympathetic actress also. Frank Cellier and Donald Calthrop are great as well, but Boris Karloff comes off best in one of his best ever performances, when he's on screen you cannot look away from him. To conclude, it is a shame that The Man Who Changed His Mind is seldom seen, it's not perfect but Karloff's performance especially makes for a film that I found myself enjoying a lot. 8/10 Bethany Cox

It's difficult to say that a movie from the 30s is filled with clichés, because at the time they weren't so. The mad scientist, the arrogant businessman, the cocky boyfriend and the kind and clever woman, they are all here and doing the same things they do in today's movies. Perhaps at time time they were book stereotypes... How we can't improve on the story of films after 80 years is a testament of our complacency as humans. Perhaps this is why mad scientists appear, they are only men of science at the beginning, but the world drives them mad. There is such a scene in the movie and one of the few in the genre that try to explain the desperation that takes one to do insane things. In this time, the madness of the scientist is a given and nobody cares why he does it, only that he die in an explosion wild eyed and screaming "Noo!".All in all, a classic of horror.

The machine that transfers brains is a staple of science fiction to the point of being camp or cliché, but this is probably the first time the idea was used on film. Karloff plays a mad scientist who invents the device, demonstrating it on a pair of chimps. A British newspaper mogul bankrolls his research, only to find his mind exchanged for the mad doctor's crippled lab assistant.Karloff's performance is what makes this movie. He returned to the United Kingdom after his initial success in Hollywood and made a series of low-budget horror films, of this was probably one of the best of the lot. Nowhere near the quality of Universal.
