That bad thing you saw? These are worse!

The plot involves the abduction of four young women off the streets of Manila. They are brought by boat to the jungle home of a cult that worships a talking severed head in a glass jar filled with red liquid. I think the head's name is Raul, but it was hard to make out.

The original 74-minute movie, released in 1963, was titled THE MADMEN OF MANDORAS. For its 1968 TV release, it featured 25 minutes of new footage and had the punchier title, THEY SAVED HITLER'S BRAIN.

This film went through three directors, the first two of whom quit in disgust. The cast was composed entirely of non-SAG actors, each of whom paid to be in the film.

Kronos is an extraterrestrial superhero dispatched to Earth to stop men whose weapons would destroy the galaxy--or something like that. The print I saw was dubbed in French, which I don't speak.

The best "invisible dinosaur" film I've ever seen!

LAND OF DARKNESS is on the low end of the Hercules spectrum (which was low to begin with), but it has a rudimentary interest factor working in its favor.

Instead of the ocean, we're in the Colorado mountains. Instead of beach season, it's Winter Carnival. Instead of a shark, there's a homicidal Yeti. Instead of Roy Scheider, there's Clint Walker. And instead of a boat, they're gonna need a bigger snowmobile.

SNAKE PEOPLE is by no means a great horror film, but I found it entertaining—even if it didn't take me long to figure out who Damballah was; even if the horrible dialogue sounds even worse when dubbed from Spanish to English; and even if the ending was too damned abrupt.

As soon as I saw "Directed by Roger Corman," I knew I was in for a rough ride. Though it clocks in at just 63 minutes, SHE-GODS OF SHARK REEF seemed longer than FANNY AND ALEXANDER.

Its biggest mistake was the severe underuse of Barbara Steele, the most famous horror actress of her time. In her absence, the focus shifts from horror to slapstick humor that detracts from what little tension the film had built up.

Imagine Hitchcock's REBECCA, except it's very dull and unsuspenseful—unless gobs of door-knocking meet your standard of suspense.

It rips off everything from “Star Wars” to “Mad Max” to “Terminator” to “The X Files” to “Starship Troopers.” Perhaps the filmmakers intended it as homage, but it feels more like plagiarism.
