SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
PodBill Just what I expected
Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
JoeB131 I can't tell you just how awful this film was, words can barely describe the shear incompetence of the filmmakers here.The long and short of it is that a man escapes from the jungles in the Philippines, goes on a rampage on an airplane, and during his rather graphic autopsy, they find something troubling.A cute doctor travels to where he came from, only to find herself going over a waterfall after long and pointless canoing scenes. I should point out we are going to see a lot of that here, where about 30 minutes of plot points are stretched out over 90 minutes of film.She meets a mad scientist who is trying to cure violent behavior with drugs, because it was the 1970's and people thought drugs could cure everything, and his buddy the rich hunter who hunts down all his failed experiments. Except the lead actress's affect is so flat you can't really tell what her reaction is to any of this. She objects, I guess.The movie ends in some odd scene where the scientist is tricked into drinking his own formula and regresses into a cave man and goes on a pointless rampage because they had another 30 minutes to fill.Ugh. Avoid at all costs.
plex You know the score: Low budget 70's flick, tight jeans, side burns, bad hair, flute music with tones of echo. But there was none of the ordinary stuff that makes us laugh or titillates us due to its overt cheesiness. This one is just plain bad!! This is strictly a PG fair: no nudity, very little violence, no gore, no bad language, so why it was given an R-rating is beyond me. The lead actress, Antoinette Bower, has been in other 70's sexploitation/prison chick flicks before, but is the main character of this movie, how or why she got this part is a total mystery. She looks to be around 40 in this flick, wears the same white jeans during the entire duration in the jungle that never get soiled. She has zero expression in the entire film- no laughing, smiling, reactions of any type even when she is told she is to be killed or discovers that the doctor on this jungle island invented a serum that makes humans revert to a "prehistoric" state. The scenery and music are surprisingly effective in this movie, but the rest plods so slowly the whole story could have been told in 10 minutes- we are talking slooooowww.
Melllvar This was an extremely awful movie.It was hard to pay attention to this movie which involved secret experiments in the jungle.The acting was poor.Ed Wood got better performances from his actors.This movie wasn't even enjoyably bad.It wasn't as bad as Kazaam so that's why I gave it a 2.
DISC Okay that quote is misleading, there is nothing fun-filled about this movie at all. It manages not only to confuse you, it also can put you to sleep in twenty minutes or less. After watching this movie several times on cable I still don't know what's going on? Jungle beasts ??? Mad Doctors ??? Hello anyone out there??? guess not. Nothing actually happens until the last half-hour or so but, If you can watch it until then, well I got two words for you, DEEP HURTING. Unless of course you fall asleep before then.
