The basic concept is ludicrous, but the execution is terrific.

Combustible Celluloid
The Sorcerers interrogates the swinging sixties morality of 'pleasure with no consequences', prefiguring the way the hippy dream turned sour at the end of the decade.

SFX Magazine
It is the overall effect that impresses rather than any individual scene or composition, but the "psychedelic experience" is particularly well done, with the victim's face literally disintegrating in blobs of colour.

Enjoy it as a simple horror film. Don't try and make it more than that.

Michael Reeves's heady excoriation of voyeurism
Full Review
CinePassion
As the Monserrats play audience to their victims' living scenarios, which the couple write to their own perverse specifications, this psychedelic horror film deals with the apparatus of cinema, and it still puts the mind in a spin.

Time Out
Reeves' finest moment was to come with Witchfinder General -- and the leap is enormous -- yet The Sorcerers is better than a mere curiosity piece.

Description by OLDIES.com:
A disgraced hypnotist, Professor Marcus Monserret (Boris Karloff) is about to have the last laugh. Inventing a machine that can control the minds of others, he lures Mike Roscoe (Ian Ogilvy) to his dingy flat to take part in a grand experiment. Discovering he can experience Mike's sensations as well as his actions, Monserret envisions his device as a boon to science. His maniacal wife (Catherine Lacey), however, embittered by years of poverty, soon overpowers her husband and proceeds to use Mike for her own selfish gain.
