What intrigues me about themovie is the opening scene, where the girl is getting out of the shower, sits ont he bed, and looks up to see the Beast (or just his hands) approaching her. Not only does she register no expression at all as he attacks and strangles her, but then the beast obviously mounts and rapes the corpse.
Now, aside form being a fascinating window into Coleman Francis's mind--When the heck did this scene take place? Chronologically, it occurs before Tor becomes the Beast. If this is kind of a flash-forward, then why isn't this even mentioned at any other time in the movie? Not to mention that the Beast is never seen to be anywhere near any human habitats.
BAsed on this movie alone, I would nominate it to the pantheon of bad films. Its position is cemented, of course, by Francis's opaque and pretentious pronouncements, which easily outrank anything Ed Wood ever put on celluloid.
