Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster Movie Review

Proclaimed by its writers – English professors at the University of Virginia! – as the worst sf/horror movie ever made, this wonder actually lives up (or down, as the case may be) to its billing. When a human-looking NASA android goes berserk after crashlanding in Puerto Rico, James Karen and Nancy Marshall are sent to track it down, but they instead run across weird-looking aliens intent on kidnapping poolside go-go girls for breeding purposes. They fix up their android buddy enough to try to stop the invaders, but the aliens counter-attack with their watchdog space monster, Mull. It was once shown at a drive-in with the reels out of order and no one noticed, or at least no one bothered to honk a horn. Required viewing for alternative aficionados. AKA: Mars Invades Puerto Rico; Frankenstein Meets the Spacemen; Duel of the Space Monsters.

1965 80m/B James Karen, Nancy Marshall, Marilyn Hanold, David Kerman, Robert Reilly, Lou Cutell; D: Robert Gaffney; W: George Garret; C: Saul Midwall. VHS, Beta PSM
