He develops a brain transfer machine and decides to test it on himself (naturally) by fusing his psyche with that of his patient, cold-blooded killer Michael Zyto (does this sound like a good idea to you?). Naturally, the experiment causes terrifying consequences for Lacroix and his family. 96m/C VHS .
