Mesa of Lost Women (1953)
quite a bad film, not easy to find it's equal
This 50s drive-in horror film, is tough to sit through without the car & a girl in your backseat.
Positive: There was an interesting exotic dance scene, that got my attention for a couple of minutes. That's all I can find.
Also, it may interest you to see Jackie Coogan, at about 50 years of age, without the paunch, or the Fester voice. He is wearing a pair of eyeglasses which have one fogged over lens and plays a mad scientist who wants a giant spider to take over the world some day. Till then, he creates mute babes and midgets with the giant spider pituitary glands. It is easily the worst writing I've seen in a film, and makes this review seem like Pulitzer material. Still, I give it a 2 instead of a 1 because it isn't as grainy a film as some of this genre, and I did like the dance scene. Worth mentioning....keep the volume down, as the foul acoustic guitar soundtrack, never lets up and might cause an Excedrin headache.
