Like other movies, old B movies can still stand out for one reason or another. Maybe there are some unique special effects. Maybe the story is actually rather engaging. Or maybe everything that could go wrong did, and the movie was still released.
This movie seems to fall into the latter category. As I watched it, I thought it seemed as though ideas were thought up and squeezed in somehow to make themselves fit and to justify other parts of the movie. It turns out I was right. If the trivia listed on IMDb is correct, the original concept was abandoned and the original movie had footage added to give us what we have now. A meaningless, senseless, illogical rambler of a movie.
As the narrator sets the stage, we're introduced to a some individuals who wind up becoming an unlikely group. It's hard to explain exactly how they come together only because the pieces don't quite fit. Let's just say it was a matter of convenience. A short plane trip turns into a scary night on the mesa, made scarier by dwarfs and women who seem to only communicate with glances. It's downright peculiar that not a single one of them ever spoke. Throw in a trip into the forest on the mesa and a finale in the doctors laboratory, and you have about an hour or so that you'll never get back.
In short, if you need something on in the background as white noise, this would do nicely. If you want a sensible, well assembled movie, move on. This ain't it.
