3/10
Pure 50's sci-fi cheese.
18 February 2017
This is one of the funniest Rifftrax movies I've seen, but the movie itself is somewhat bizarre (though I suppose that this is to be expected). A scientist named Dr. Gilbert McKenna (Robert Clarke) is exposed to nuclear radiation at his laboratory. For undisclosed reasons this turns him into a monster when he is left out in the sun too long. Interestingly this only affects half his body as he also runs around in totally soaked khaki pants. And no, it's never explained why his pants are soaked either. McKenna spends most of the movie alone in his secluded house on the California coast, driving to bars, and rampaging. It's your typical poorly made, low budget, campy horror film from the 50's. Other interesting things about the film include the music which also appears in Night of the Living Dead. Since that film was made 9 years later I'm going to guess that it's probably stock. Other than that there's not much else to write. Except, of course, that the Rifftrax is hilarious.
