Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster (1965)

- written February 2008

Summary: When an atomic war on Mars destroys the planet's ability to procreate, it's up to a Martian Princess and her assistant, Dr. Nadir, to travel to earth and kidnap women for new breeding stock. Landing in Puerto Rico, they shoot down a NASA space capsule manned by an android. With his brain damaged, the android terrorizes the island while the Martians use this diversion to kidnap the ladies.           Overall: Just an abysmally awful film that looks beyond cheap and sleezy. It’s a “camp classic” so maybe you’re watching it as part of some drinking game, but you’ll find nothing of artistic or aesthetic value here. Besides…our “Frankenstein” is merely a term for the android.           Comparison: Plan 9 From Outer Space meets Bikini Bloodbath
