Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
mark.waltz I've seen clips and stills of this film before but discovered it quite by accident, and am perplexed by many things about it. This shows how invaders from Mars (one ridiculous looking effeminate Martian, and their queen, who looks like she's wearing bad Maria Montez drag), determined to swipe women off of the face of the earth to help repopulate their planet, face up with a robot monster, half human, half vacuum cleaner parts, and somehow land in Puerto Rico where they begin their mission. The military made robot monster, the supposed Frankenstein of the title, has half of a man's face and the rest is computerized or vacuumized, making a rather silly looking creature with hoses sticking out of his chest, and not quite prepared for tackling the martians as he makes victims out of some Puerto Rican natives he meets when he lands there accidentally. A good half of this movie is dialog free, covered up with goofy 60's style music and a rock song that repeats throughout the film. A pool party scene goes on far too long before anything really happens, making you wish that the Queen Martian and her queeny assistant would return for some idiotic dialog in their quest that seems to have been ripped off for the really bad TV movie "Mars Needs Women". Then, there's the monster that the Martians utilize, a combination of every bad monster from "It! That Conquored the World!" to the vacuum cleaner monster that swallowed up women with big bottoms hole, leaving only their shoes, in some other 1960's hideously bad campfest. This fanged creature comes pretty much out of nowhere and seems to be the cousin of the hot dog toothed monster that popped up in various forms as well in other cheapo films. I'd say that this deserved to be collected for obsessive fans of the sci-fi genre and seen once by the more choosy fans of that genre, as in its 75 minutes only has 25 minutes worth of unintentional laughs (or were they?) and lengthy sequences where I had to slap my face to keep me awake.
Hitchcoc The only thing to do with Frankenstein (at least the one we know), is the name Frankie. This is a violent film where a character from space sees fit to reek havoc wherever he goes. The acting is abysmal and the special effects are atrocious. I know that some find it campy and I will grant them that, but it is so lacking in any substance that you will forget about it a few minutes after the conclusion.
chainsawd2 Terrible make up, the space ship is about a 12 foot round dome and no less than 25 people and aliens fit inside.The scooter scenes where James Karen "races" here and there at 12 MPH are hysterical.The music, well not sure how it works with the movie. The Hot girls well, they didn't put up much of a fight when the aliens abduct them.All all this together and it is a great, classic sci-fi movie.The "star", James Karen, was also the spokesperson for Pathmark Supermarkets for many, many years during Pathmarks heyday as a supermarket power on the east coast.This is a must see sci-fi movie.
morpheusatloppers I saw this movie only once, in a flea-pit, second-run cinema in the mid-Sixties and have not seen it since. And yet I STILL remember it - such is the POWER of this HILARIOUS monstrosity (pun intended). It was then sporting the title: Duel Of The Spacemonsters.I TRULY believe this film ECLIPSES the legendarily awful Plan Nine From Outer Space.The moment that made it for me was when the "robot" loses half his head, revealing his brain to comprise of VALVES and the printed-circuit-board from a pocket transistor radio! I was only twelve at the time, and I would later become an electronic service engineer, but even at TWELVE, I knew what a tranny's PCB looked like. This one still clearly had the TUNING DIAL on it!I believe some of the music was created by the great Bob Crewe - just THREE years before he would supply the songs for Barbarella! Despite giving this movie just one out of ten, I URGE you to see it if you can FIND it - if only so you can say you've seen THE WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!
