Okay...why do I *LOVE* this movie?? (spoilers)


Guys, (oh, and gals too), I simply love horror movies, especially old ones, 'B' movies, and I fully admit to being addicted to 'mystery science theater' and bad ( I mean baaaaaad) movies. However, I don't always like every movie I see, and for some reason this damn thing is so cheesy I must have watched it 10 times since I got it about 2 months ago.....and I love it! Cheap sets, over-acting, a monster that looks like BOZO or a mutated 'Larry' from the 3 stooges, Mike Dunn (remember doctor loveless?) as the evil pervert dwarf, sleazy women, a hunchback, cavemen (and caves), angry villagers, revenge,lust, and a brazen script that downrightly *refuses* to recognize its own bizzare (un)logic, -not to mention soft nudity- and last (but not least) a dubbing job that would make E.D. Wood proud!
So why do I (we) love this movie?? It goes against logical sense, it's a nowhere plot, awful acting, plot holes big enough to drive a truck through, special effects that are *NOT* special, a ridiculous monster, etc. etc., ad infinitum......it's a mystery why anybody would watch it more than once....unless, of course, you are a masochistic 'B' movie fan like me; but to be honest, this movie is just so bad, it must either make you laugh out loud or scramble for your remote "STOP" button.

I can also recommend these movies: 'forbidden zone', 'night of the ghouls', 'dracula vs. frankenstein', and 'spider baby' (which is excellent!!);

It's the kind of horror that throws everything but a kitchen sink at the viewer, and in this case, it works for me.

And yes - the english dubbing is awesome because Rosano Brazzi doesn't have an accent in Italian version, so he doesn't order his servants to "take the coffin in the shtoreroom" :)

I have watched this in the past, and never noticed that Rosano Brazzi was in it! Can't believe I missed that, I guess I'll have to man up and watch this again.

I love it too. It has the 3B's for this kind of movie, Babes, Beasts and Blood.

I like these type of films if they have gothic atmosphere and this one does it fine. But I never thought I would see one with a caveman in it.
