Review 1- Beast of Yucca Flats (1961)

     Boy, this one is sure a clunker, and the best way to kick off this blog! The movie stars Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson (Known for his performance in Ed Wood films) and is directed by Coleman Francis (also director of Red Zone Cuba). The movie was originally shot without sound, so in a way its similar to "The Creeping Terror".


     The movie revolves around the scientist Joseph Javorsky, who after being in the slowest car chase ever put to film, runs out of a car and gets into contact with a nuclear explosion, and getting deformed. How could they make this plot not work? Well, they somehow did, by adding bad acting, a non-existing plot, and over all hilarity, The narrator doesn't clear up the plot either, he just spits out random sentences, including "Flag on the moon. How did it get there?". The movie ends with a non- scripted event, with a baby bunny walking up to the dead Tor Johnson.

    Well, this movie isn't "Plan 9"so bad its good, but it's definitely not the worst. Its the type of movie you would watch when your in the mood to laugh at an unintentionally funny movie.

I give it a 3/10. IMDB rating: 2.5

  1. You would think that a movie based entirely on Tor Johnson wandering around the Mojave Desert, with a narrator saying non- sequiturs over it would be better.
