Ridiculous looking vampires with $.10 Halloween store fans. A sudden incident on a spaceship where grouchy John Carradine barks "Take your hands off me!" Tinted footage that alternates between red, yellow, blue and green. A bug eyed sea monster with lobster claws. The Filipino equivalent of Sabu. A bikini wearing alien who speaks perfect English. (Well not perfect....her acting is not what I'd call well rehearsed or directed...) Vampire aliens with tusks instead of fangs. Enlarged reptiles supposed to be dinosaurs. Bat people who fly but look like Bela Lugosi in "The Ape Man". A form of energy known as "fire water". And don't forget Robot Monster.
Yes, the stock footage mixed into this film creates a delightfully stupid low budget sci-fi/horror. Veteran actor John Carradine isn't playing a mad scientist, but his character is deliciously nutty. The plot makes no sense, yet somehow I was able to figure out a way to put it into words. The Tubatano people and the other tribe seems to be cast with cab drivers on their day off. This is one of those films that seemed like what was already in its hundredth rerun on local TV, yet it had some sort of theatrical release. This has to be seen to be believed, and makes Ed Wood's "Bride of the Monster" seem like "The Day the Earth Stood Still".
