This was Canada's first contribution to the horror genre. It was in 3-D and screenings came with a mask which audiences were instructed to put on so they could experience the hallucinations suffered by the lead character in 3-D. That was of dubious benefit as the low budget sequences recall nothing so much as early Dr Who sets from the Hartnell/ Troughton eras. The story is so-so.
Michael Radin ( Martin Lavut ) a young archaeologist is suffering from nightmare visions after trying on an ancient mask he stole from the museum where he works. After believing he might have killed a woman, he consults Dr Barnes ( Paul Stevens ) . When he doesn't get a sympathetic hearing he shoots himself after sending the mask to Barnes who can't resist trying it on for himself
