random thoughts
I love trash movies but somehow I missed out on this one growing up. I had the wonderfully outdated (for its time) one sheet that I hung proudly on my bedroom wall as a teenager. One of my all-time favorite songs is the Misfits "Astro Zombies" (the Walk Among Us version) which I played non stop for ten years straight. I liked some of Ted Mikels other movies. And John Carradine is one of my five favorite actors. But for some reason I never had the urge to actually watch this movie.
So to quell my curiosity I finally rented this about a year ago and it is just a truly unremarkable peice of crap. It's really sad to see Wendell Corey (who was on his last legs) literally dying on screen right before your eyes. It's sad to see John Carradine making stuff like this (even though he didn't need to do any of the cruddy movies he was in he just liked to work). It's really sad to think I payed two dollars to watch it.
Fans of the genre beware: though I like a good sleazy cheese-fest as much as the next guy this is one to stay way from.
