A fine example that MST3k has to offer
Amthermandes3 November 2022
What a horrible flick. I mean, it's bad. But it's also the epitome of the horrible nature of many, MANY poorly made, cheese-saturated sci-fi horrors made in the 60's. So one cannot help but appreciate it for what it is. The acting is wooden, the effects are cheap and laughable, the whole thing is a joke, which makes it a perfect target for our boys with MST3K slash Rifftrax.

Do not watch without the accompaniment of our wonderful, creative, funny friends with MST3k/Rifftrax, because like "Birdemic", "The Room", or "Manos: The Hands of Fate," one could go insane without their riff commentary, because these movies are just so absurd.

Almost as bad as the name

If you looked at the title and thought, 'That sounds like a horrible movie,' then you are absolutely right. I watched the Mystery Science Theater version and almost gave up halfway through that one. If even MST3K can't coerce you to finishing the movie, there's not much else that can. Why is it so horrible? Let me count the ways . . . First, the ridiculous sound. You can barely hear it, which isn't a bad thing in this case. It sounds like it was recorded on Edison's first phonograph, as the MST3K crew continually point out. Second is the cast of the movie. Almost everyone is Eastern European, which isn't always a bad thing. Eastern Europeans who can't act, however, is a very bad thing. Third is the story. The thing about the story is . . . well, frankly, there is no story. Apparently, its about this guy who dumps his girlfriend to go to a strip club, where a psychic hypnotizes him to kill this girl who has no relation to the story whatsoever. Then the guy almost kills his girlfriend and gets shot by the police after freeing the rest of the zombies. Story? This movie doesn't need one. There's no way that gaining one would help any.
