For a Roger Corman production this was excellent, 28 January 2004

I enjoyed this one all the way through even though it had the usual Corman defects. The opening time travel sequence was a tad silly, but the car that drove itself was way cool. Where, however, did the nice roads come from way back in 1817? Don't expect the monster to look like Herman Munster because even this guy's eyes were stitched. Dumb film, but somehow appealing.
