Telegonus' review is well-written and on-point, so my review is merely an addendum to it.
For anyone interested in watching this episode, it is well-worth the time. "Forms of Things Unknown" is available for download through Amazon; it is listed as the last of the first season episodes of the 60's version of "The Outer Limits".
The designation of this episode as "horror" is almost an over-statement in terms of "The Outer Limits" as it does not have the monster/alien element of most OL episodes. That does not mean anything was lacking in terms of suspense, though. The difference in atmosphere was due to being filmed as a pilot for a possible series called, "The Unknown".
At times, "Forms" has an almost mesmerizing quality. For b/w, the episode was beautifully filmed and has an almost film noir quality.
