Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Monte Markham plays a professor of psychic phenomena who is himself "blessed" with ESP. When Monte picks up vibes about a plan to plant a time bomb, the cops don't believe him. Later the authorities change their minds, and finger Markham as their Number One suspect (maybe they've been watching all those other TV movies in which Monte turned out to be the "surprise killer"). That ellipsis at the end of the title Visions... led viewers to expect a punch line, so the film was retitled Visions of Death for syndication. On-location filming in Denver is one of the few tangible assets of this predictable yarn.
