Well that's what one of the tag lines for this gem says. I know the last entry was Blood Freak, and now I am following it up with this film, but I hope I haven't lost what little followers I have.
I admit this is a guilty pleasure. An astronaut crashes back to earth in a small 3 foot space capsule and emerges a 7 foot giant!! Yep you read correctly. He goes around killing people for no reason I can determine and soon the hunt is on.
The movie just kind of stops and makes no sense what so ever and has a lot of scenes that never really connect. The film was started by Bill Rebane and the finished by Herschell Gordon Lewis, and brother does it show. There are several scenes that really stand out in my mind such as the scene where the monster strangles a man and we get a good close up the victims tongue and mouth as he is being killed....the truch driver helping the under sexed female get her car started and the phone ringing that is done by an off camera voice!!!
Never in the history of cinema has there ever been a film like this. It is amazing that it has a huge following 47 years after it's release. The disc from Synergy has a pretty cool interview with Rebane, two short Rebane dance films and a booklet reprinting the article that Scary Monsters Magazine did about the film. Finally, who couldn't like a film where a music group called the Other Three sing the title tune and have a lyric that goes..."you may be from beyond the moon, but to me you're just a goon..."?
Highly Recommended junk food on film.
