BLUE MONKEY (1987, Fruet) is not a 50's throwback because the plot is far too nonsensical and it draws heavily from the scripts and storylines of films from the time. It is more before its time in tone as it feels very much like a horror film from the 1990's; the music has no personality, creates no atmosphere, drones on constantly, and sounds generic before it could have been; the lighting is awful; the plot is just disgustingly bad; it stinks of unnecessary cheese at times...
But the effects are actually good. It's a shame that the setting, characters, writing and soundtrack don't do those effects justice.
