Movie Haiku:The original '50's version is OK camp ("Help me!! Help me!!!"), but this version is the real winner. Genuinely creepy, it's also a terrific tale of doomed lovers connected by intense physical & intellectual passion. A mad scientist's experiments have horrendous consequences. Personal Best for Goldblum.
