ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

______


[Also released as: "The Creature's Revenge]

Another movie from producer-director Al Adamson, a man whose consistently awful film-making challenges Edward D. Wood, Jr. himself.

As in several other Adamson films, his shapely wife (Regina Carrol) is the heroine. Grant Williams ("The Incredible Shrinking Man", "The Monolith Monsters") is the hero, and Kent Taylor ("The Day Mars Invaded Earth") is a mad scientist who gets to molest Regina and several other captive women. So does John Bloom, as the monster which Taylor creates.

The brain in the monster belongs to a deceased monarch, and it undergoes several body changes during the story, although the voice with which it speaks stays the same for each body so that the viewer will know it's the same brain. (Oh, these clever movie people!)

If you ever get a wild urge to watch this movie, just click on the link below and the trailer will talk you right out of that misguided notion.

But the trailer's narration is a masterpiece of hype and hyperbole. I was surprised, however, that Regina Carrol is only glimpsed from afar in one brief scene. I expected the trailer to promise us salacious delights, with shots of her strapped down to an operating table in a baby-doll nighty and high heels.

But the really sad thing is poor Grant Williams' presence in this cinematic pond scum, his last screen appearance. Wikipedia says this about Mr. Williams.
