Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

mark.waltz Dreadfully boring and beyond recommendation, this combination mutant monster movie and beach party movie without a beach is insipidness at its most absurd. It takes nearly an hour before the creature appears, and it ain't worth the wait. All that happens up until then is the partying rebellious teeny boppers being told to get out of a certain part of land where several teens have gone missing. They refuse, returning to dance, neck and ultimately be chased by a mutant ape like creature. The acting is beyond amateurish, and veteran actor John Agar seems plenty desperate for work to have accepted this piece of dreck. This is drive in schlock at its most yawn inducing, and one I'm glad I never have to venture to try to watch ever again.

danzeisen John Agar is always fun to watch, here he has the only really strong role in the movie. A weak script, lots of hokey dialog, and some characters seem so weak they are really almost ONE dimensional. So why rate this as a 5?Simple, this is a fun movie that makes no pretense at serious cinema. There are some really pretty young ladies, and the 60s hairstyles are really fun to look at. There are also some really cool cars in the movie- 1966 Olds Toronado, '67 Pontiac Firebird convertible, '65 Chevy convertible, '67 Ford Galaxie convertible,and a first generation Riviera briefly seen. Don't expect too much, and just relax and have some fun. Don't think too much, but the monster really looked pretty decent, especially considering the whole budget was listed as $18,000 !!!

horsegoggles Why film a movie if you are not going to provide light for the cameras. The film would have been about seven minutes long if it were not for the shots of people walking through the woods. I enjoyed seeing the typical sixties dress and the 60's cars. I couldn't help but ask myself what self respecting kid would drive a Tornado, though they were neat cars. The music was tedious and repetitive. Ten minutes of people dancing in the dark was too much. I've seen worse acting, but the manikin should have had top billing. At least it kept it's mouth closed. I think the motivation for making the movie must have been that someone had a lot of film available that had gone beyond the expiration date and they didn't want to see it go to waste. It went to waste.

MartinHafer I am a fan of bad horror films of the 1950s and 60s--films so ridiculous and silly that they are good for a laugh. So, because of this it's natural that I'd choose this film--especially because with John Agar in it, it was practically guaranteed to be bad. Sadly, while it was a bad film, it was the worst type of bad film--dull beyond belief and unfunny. At least with stupid and over-the-top bad films, you can laugh at the atrocious monsters and terrible direction and acting. Here, you never really see that much of the monster (mostly due to the darkness of the print) and the acting, while bad, is more low energy bad...listless and dull.The film begins with some young adults going to Satan's Hollow to neck. Well, considering the name of the place, it's not surprising when they are later found chewed to pieces! Duh...don't go necking at Satan's Hollow!! Well, there are reports of some sort of crashing object from the sky, so what do the teens go? Yep, throw a dance party--a very, very, very slow dance party where the kids almost dance in slow motion. So it's up to the Sheriff (Agar) and his men to ensure that the teens can dance in peace without fear of mastication.As for the monster, it's some guy in a gorilla suit with a silly mask--a bit like the monster in ROBOT MONSTER. Not exactly original and not exactly high tech. To make it worse, it makes snorting noises and moves very, very slowly--so slow that even the most corpulent teen could easily outrun it! How it manages to kill repeatedly is beyond me.Overall, too dull to like--even if you are a fan of lousy cinema.
