1965 sci-fi horror movieRating: 4/20
Plot: Martian invaders, coming to our planet in order to find women suitable for breeding for repopulation purposes, shoot down NASA's lastest creation, a Frankenstein astronaut. Puerto Rico is terrorized by both while some moped-riding scientists try to find their robot and stop the aliens.
Terrific low-budget movie! This has absolutely everything you could want in a movie--a spaceship that is much larger on the inside than it is on the outside; a scary title monster (see poster), in the movie for probably less than two minutes; the title Frankenstein played by Robert Reilly, a guy who knew he had nothing more to achieve in acting after this performance and didn't act in a movie again for twenty-six years; bikini girls dancing to raunchy rock 'n' roll music; awkward pauses. And check out these two, Martian characters who creepily stare directly into the camera as they deliver their lines:
Sadly, this was director Robert Gaffney's lone movie. Again, it's gotta be a situation where the man realized that he had hit the pinnacle and wanted to leave while on top. This movie isn't as bad as Manos, Plan 9, Yucca Flats, or even It's Alive! that I watched last week. But it's still highly recommended for fans of bad movies.
