Movie Reviews

User Review - 6/10 by Big M"I guess then, by definition, I'm in the Batmobile." I actually kind of dig on this movie, MST3K treatment or not. It's impossibly cheesy, but the story is kinda-sorta engaging and the acting is solid all around. Cool score, too. edit: hey, I'm the highest rating for this movie in all of flixster. Neat!
User Review - 6/10 by Wes SExcellent film to watch on MST3K, otherwise it's boring. The story isn't so great, and the monster is ok, but the effects were nice and was Stan Winston's first film to use his effects.
User Review - 6/10 by Daniel RThis is an okay monster/scientist movie, it's actually pretty good most of the time, and I liked the end, but it could have done a lot more with the story than it did, and it could have have better actors and script. Overall, it's pretty good, though.
User Review - 4/10 by Kevin SI expected this movie to be in Black & White with a title like that. But to my disappointment it was not. Can't give this one more then 2 Stars. I guess this was made for the Drive-In or maybe TV. My Copy came in a MGM Midnite Movie Double Feature. Starts of with Dr John beck and his Wife Cathy Exploring the Caverns of New Mexico in the desert, Well the honeymoon has just begun and Cathy gets a case of the horny?s and wants to go do the wild thing off away from the group tour, wham she slips down a shaft and rather then hubby standing at the top of the shaft and maybe get a rope, he joins her, then he is bitten by a bat and his nightmares begin. He runs around in his pajamas killing women as he turns into a Batman (Not the Bruce Wayne Type). He smashes up a beautiful Cadillac Ambulance. It takes a hour and 20 minutes to see what he look like when he changes. The top 3 actors went on to play many TV Series. Dr John Beck Played by Stewart Moss played in Baa Baa Black Sheep, Six Million Dollar man, Barnaby Jones, And Arcie Bunkers Place. Cathy Beck was played by Marrianne McAndrew who went on to play Quincy ME, Murder She Wrote, and Cannon,. And the all knowing sheriff who knew the bad guy from the start, played by Michael Pataki played in Rocky IV, Air wolf, and Star Trek, All 3 actors played in a lot more just wanted to give you an idea of there talent, but this movie didn?t take much. The sheriff ran around with a cigarette holder in his mouth most of the movie, guess that was cool in 74. I?d pass this one up if you have anything better to do, like wash the dishes.
User Review - 4/10 by Mark Bstan winston early effects on this little gem
User Review - 4/10 by Collin Wnot cheesy enough to be considered "so bad its good".
User Review - 2/10 by Andreas OFucking hilarious! Awesome bomb of a movie! a definite must watch for those who love a great shit film!
User Review - 2/10 by Winnie MI'm honestly speechless at how dull this film is. It's like you didn't think it could get any more boring, then they throw in a boring car chase. Yikes. Poor Stan Winston and poor Matthew Leonetti.
User Review - 2/10 by Nathan Mmy friends and i love to make fun of bad movies, but this one was so boring we ended up talking about other things. even some decent special effects couldn't save it. it wasn't even really very entertaining to make fun of. don't bother.
