SunnyHello Nice effects though.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

gorf This movie is worse than Plan 9. Worse than Suicide Squad or BvS...it's like having a nightmare. The strange narration, the dubbing, the acting...horrible. I like scary movies, but I don't want them to be this scary!Avoid.

robertmurray-70637 If you like to laugh at "bad" movies and have not seen a film produced and directed by Coleman Francis, you should see "The Beast of Yucca Flats." Coleman Francis is arguably the worst filmmaker of all time, much worse than Ed Wood, and "The Beast of Yucca Flats" is definitely the worst movie he ever made. (His best was "The Skydivers.") Like many bad movies, "Beast" can be watched repeatedly and the more you watch it, the funnier it gets.The plot is not simply incomprehensible; it consists of series of only loosely connected events that are extremely bizarre, each in different ways, and are clearly the products of a demented mind.To fully appreciate this masterpiece, you need to have a dark sense of humor.

geminiredblue Sometimes, I can't help but wonder what goes into a film such as this. Did anybody involved think that this would be fun or entertaining? Did anybody THINK at all? Or did they charge ahead dutifully? Did the filmmakers have a shooting schedule? Or did they just wing it from Day One? Here was the first attempt by Coleman Francis, potentially THE worst director ever. And THE BEAST OF YUCCA FLATS has found a place in cult classic history. Clocking in at just over an hour, TBOYF features Tor Johnson (from the monumentally enjoyable bad epic PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE) as an escaping Russian scientist. In New Mexico, two guys in suits (Feds, I guess) get into a car chase and shoot out with two guys in hats (KGB spies, I guess). They're attempting to kill the scientist and steal his briefcase filled with sensitive information. But wouldn't ya know it, the area just happens to be a place where the Army's testing a new atom bomb. Wandering out into the desert, the Russian scientist gets horribly scarred, his clothes in tatters, and goes around waving a walking stick. Some other characters come along, doing nonsensical stuff. Tor chases them away, bellowing. And eventually, he dies. Maybe. While a cute little rabbit nibbles at his fingers. Scary, huh? Rumor has it that they had no audio equipment on-set and so they resorted to having stuff recorded in post-production. Hence the odd, slightly disturbing, voice-over musings by Coleman Francis himself. In a weird sort of way, it almost works as an art film. It's certainly got no plot, or coherent story structure. But, even at an hour, it's difficult to watch and sit through. Bravo MST3K, you've got yourselves a winner. To you, I give 8 Mewling Tors out of 10!

dougdoepke I would think a movie, no matter how bad, has to get a commercial release in order to qualify for IMDb listing. Hard to believe this mess would be picked up, even at the pre-school level. But I guess it was. Anyway, for me what's notable is poor Tor Johnson. His "beast" is more like a lonely old man wandering dementedly through wastelands because nobody will take him in. He's having a heckuva time dragging that 300 lbs. over the dried-out terrain. I hope they paid him well, but I doubt it. Too bad filmmaker Francis never heard the words "storyline" or "timeline". Judging from what's on screen, I'm betting he spent his time catching bad French art movies. Then again, the narration, as other reviewers detail, sounds like a philosophy class flunk out. How fitting. The whole thing bears the stamp of runaway self indulgence. No need to go on. The movie's neither good-bad nor fun. Mostly it's just painful. Poor Tor, he deserved better.
