Plot summary

A 30-year-old man, who has been in a coma since birth, is finally restored to consciousness by a breakthrough brain operation. Although physically an adult, the man is "reborn" in the eye of an infant; the doctors caring for him must teach him to walk, talk and prepare for life in the outside world. Tension builds as he escapes from the hospital, wanders among people who do not realize his identity, and is hunted by the police.

This is an intriguing watch, in terms of the plot. I can only imagine what it may be like for someone put in Nicholas (Mr. Soames) position. Its a bit daft at times perhaps but its certainly thought provoking. One thing its hard not to comment on is the old fashioned technology on show - of course this flm wasn't made yesterday (dating from 1970) and it clearly shows. I imagine the science behind such a scenario happening (whereby a baby is kept medically alive for 30 years but without being fully conscious) would have changed and so specialists would perhaps think differently about how to deal with someone essentially brought back to full life nowadays but the naive aspect to it is somehow charming. However, I felt the ending was a bit abrupt. I wouldn't say its more than good, hence my rating but if the story intrigues you, then I'd recommend it, if your ok with older films.

Sold as a horror film, but really more of a drama. Terrance stamp is good, as always, but eventually, the film just does not quite work
