Eccentric professor Jonathan Jones (Tom Poston) discovers a magical amulet which can be used to slow down time, inflict pain, or bring about instant death. When foreign agents seek to steal the amulet for their own gain, Jones, accompanied by his colleague Professor Fenster (Julia Meade), must protect it. With support from Jim Backus and Margaret Dumont, and a screenplay by Ray Russell, Zotz! is a delightful mixture of slapstick and satire. (Powerhouse Films)

I regret those bad cuts, which are quite plentiful here. They spoil the overall impression of this Castle "horror" comedy. William Castle is a legend in this field because he knew how to play with the film and the audience like no one else. "Zotz!", just by its title, is another example of his strange mastery. Castle's humor suits me and I also liked it in this essentially forgotten film. ()
