This is one of those movies that is purposely trying to take
us back to the 50’s and 60’s creature feature flicks. Some of these efforts are
superior to others. This is one that stands out as being pretty damn
great. The plot revolves around a space
accident that leads to a man being exposed to atomic sandwich DNA. I think
radiation is somehow involved. It’s just freakin nuts. By the time he ends up
back on earth, the world now has to deal with a creature bent on eating pretty
much everything. Oh, on top of that, it’s basically a giant pile of meat by the
time it’s all done and said. The entire movie celebrates the genre by being
shot completely in black and white.
This thing is basically a horror comedy the same way TEENAGERS FROM OUTER SPACE is. It’s basically so purposely hooky that it’s hard not to laugh at even if they tried doing a straight up old school horror flick. This thing is loaded with crazy humor and some purposely horrific acting. It literally includes a dude that gets both legs eaten off to the bone and he still manages to hang out for most of the movie, to try and figure out a way to kill the creature. The outstanding failure to pay any attention to detail or basic physics is just over the top great. I get it, I get it. Most complaints about sci-fi or sci-fantasy like STAR WARS, have to do with the films being scientifically incorrect. We are suddenly supposed to be so with it that we can no longer enjoy total craziness. To be honest I could give a crap about that watching anything sci-fi and even less so bonkers films like this.
I really can’t say much here about the acting or cinematography
or camera work, because none of that is something that would have improved this
movie anyway. It actually would have taken away from the cheese factor the film
was going for. What is great is the script, overall nonsense and over the top
ending. Matt Laumann’s performance
stands out in this as Ed Farley, but he is more well known for his voice-over
work in things like Borderlands video game.
