Thank goodness that this was not in smell-o-vision. I would have to have had a close pin on my nose. This ranks as one of the lamest movies of all time let alone probably the worst remakes of all time. The original version, Catwoman on the moon, is one of the worst films ever made, and to find out that there was a remake made just five years later,I rolled my eyes even before the film started. Well not entirely a duplicate of the original, this has elements that make it believe it or not even worse.
Giant rocks that walk, a hideous looking spider the size of an elephant and an aging queen fighting to keep her throne are among the ridiculous elements of this wretched piece of science fiction. The women who live on the moon look as if they are living inside a Mardi Gras Festival, with K.T. Stevens as the Lido aka queen of the moon women. She has a rival to the throne in her assistant Alpha who defies her at every turn in her efforts to take over. The visitors from Earth includes two escaped convicts and several scientists who kick off accidentally from earth and end up on the moon which remarkably looks like a desert. All of a sudden, rocks break out of the formation, walking so slowly that there is no way they could ever catch up to those they are after. This monster as well as the spider ended up in that delicious 1982 spoof of bad science fiction/horror films, "It came from Hollywood", and in a way it was fun to find the film that I remembered the silly clips from.
This just gets sillier and silly are as the movie goes on and I can't imagine driving audiences actually watching this without laughing or throwing things at the big screen. It is just so absurd. Yes the spider is gruesome looking and may give you the heebie jeebies, but the rock people are so stupid looking, like Teletubbies filmed in black and white. The acting is hideous, particularly by the space women and ranks up there with the worst performances of all time, although I did have sympathy for K.T. Stevens. In fact I would give this collectively the award for worst acting of the year, because everybody is so bad that I couldn't single just one person out. Veteran actress Stevens tries her best but you can see behind her character's apparent blindness in her own eyes that she was just thinking am I this desperate for a paycheck? Phony looking sets includes the earthlings looking out the cave palace window at supposed land which is really s bad drawing. So grab some popcorn, sit back and laugh. Because you are entering into what remains worse than even the stupidest of the early Star Trek episodes.
