The Case of the Missing Consciousness

About This Movie

The Case of the Missing Consciousness is an intriguing blend of mystery and science fiction that dives into the murky realms of the mind. You’ve got this private detective, Nick Malace, caught up in Dr. Wyoming’s REM sleep experiments. The twist? A rival puts a brain monitor in him, which leads to some surreal experiences. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that dream-like quality. Practical effects are used judiciously, which gives the film a distinct feel, especially for its time. You can’t help but feel a sense of paranoia throughout, making you question what’s real. Performances are solid, especially the tension between Malace and the doctors. It’s definitely a curious piece to have in a collection.
