Ridiculous "non-movie" has little, if anything, going for it and survives as a curiosity piece only. Had to have played in the 4:00 AM slot at the "Dusk-to-Dawn" Drive-In show (if it played anywhere at all), and you know what everyone was doing by that time. So, who has seen it, apart from video junkies, like yours truly?
Tor Johnson (former wrestler known as "The Swedish Angel", whose thespic claim to fame was playing a mindless character named Lobo in films such as "Bride of the Monster","The Unearthly" and "Revenge of the Dead", plus other, equally witless parts) stumbles through this mess as "The Beast", a gentle Soviet scientist turned into a savage killer by exposure to an atomic blast. Suffice it to say, an actor he ain't. Then again, neither is anyone else in the cast. In fact, there isn't a professional of any type (unless "buffoon" is a profession) connected with this turkey. Best thing about the flick is it's less than an hour long (although it seems a lot longer).
Print available on DVD (from the "Wade Williams" collection) is excellent,though - crisp, clean; looks like new!! Rent or buy for your next slumber party.
